70-200mm 2.8L Non is mk. 1 vs 70-200mm 2.8L IS Mk. 2

[Jasz]

Hi everybody

I am thinking of changing my old 70-200mm 2.8L Mk. 1 out with the new Mk. 2... is that a waste of money ?

Has anybody seen some decent tests on the internet where the mk.2 is compared to the Mk. 2

Looking forward for your replies

Take a look here for some tests of various 200mm lenses.

While I have not used either, I have read many times the mk 2 is superior in almost every way.

This is a fantastic tool. Check out the CA on the mk 1, and how much sharper the mk 2 is.
