I just ordered my new 70-200 f2.8 MkII today!

....and now, the delivery wait... :'(

Congrats. Let's see some pics after it arrives.

Congrats! It's one of my favorite lenses! I don't envy the waiting period though. It's always torture for me, even for the little things! =)

 

[wsmith96]

I should be clear - it's a canon refurbished lens, so it's not "new." But, a canon refurb with a year warranty is good enough for me.

Congrats! I love my 70-200mm f2.8 II and it never lets me down. I've purchased a couple refurb lenses from Canon as well. All have been very sharp and in pristine working condition.

welcome to the family =]

 

[wsmith96]

Thanks - this is my first L and most likely the gateway to others.

CONGRATULATIONS 8) 8) ... a beautiful lens and an excellent performer ... may it serve you well!

 

[Viggo]

Congrats! One of top three zooms ever made, after my 200 f2 decided to screw me over I really miss it. The AF will blow your mind

CONGRATULATIONS. Now is the worst time. The money paid for, but no merchandise. The hand sweat and tickle, you are helpless. Be brave!

 

[fragilesi]

I am officially a green-eyed monster!

Have fun when it arrives!

You won't regret it. It's a fantastic lens. Brilliant for portraits and sport. Takes the 1.4 extender really well. I haven't used a better Canon lens. I think it's the best of all (I haven't tried the 135mm but maybe someday )

Live long and prosper with it!

I feel like 70-200 is a MUST have lens in every Canon shooter bags.

It's my only Canon lens, L or otherwise, which didn't require any AF adjustments in-camera. Paired with my 5DM3 it's a freakin' dream. It almost NEVER comes off my camera!

Once you get it, try to always shoot at f2.8 - this is where it really shines.

Have fun!

Does it feel 'loose' when you mount it on your camera??? Careful there, cause that would ruin the experience :'( :'(

I've been considering this same purchase. Can anyone confirm whether the refurbs include the lens hood and lens bag?

Hard to say:

The "Features" tab implies that it is in the box, but the "What's in the Box" tab just lists optional accessories for some reason.

Presume it's all there b/c the refurb price is too close to new MSRP, but I've never bought a refurb.
