Selling my Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS II

[Dylan777]

My plan was to sell the 70-200mm f2.8 IS II, after 200mm f2 IS arrived. Posted it on ebay last night, however, I ended my auction today. Just couldn’t do it guys.

Dam you L lenses

Lucky you on the f2. My dream lens.
I would keep both for a while, based on your needs you will be more convinced on your future choice and won't be any regret.

Why exchange this fine lens to simple bucks that seem to fly out of your pockets without you knowing anything about it.

Dylan,

There is another thread on this lens.

Curious if you used it with the 2xiii and if so, would you comment on performance.

Ok, I started reading this thread with some trepidation, but all is well. Good!
Congrats on the 200/2! Please post pics as soon as convenient. Cheers!

I have the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II. I wish I also had the 200 f/2. If it were me I'd keep the 70-200, but understandably, your needs may differ from mine.

If I was to sell my 70-200 f/2.8 IS II, I think I would have to give up photography. ;D

First world problems ha ha

I sell my stuff on Amazon and when I have ambivalent feelings about doing so, I list the price higher than the used market value... so if itdoes sell, I get more than I should reasonably expect, but there is a higher likely hood of it staying in my bag because I price it out of the market....

So yeah....

I was on the verge of making a similar move over the past few days. There were a couple of 200/2 lenses posted on eBay for roughly 4100ish. My plan was to dump the 70-200 and 85. Already dumping the 100 and 135 this weekend. But in the end, I came to my senses and realized that the 200/2 will be too restricting if I get it and dump the rest. Had to pass. LOL. Please let me know your experiences with the 200 once you get some time with it.

Canon1,
I haven't not yet try x2 TC on my 70-200. I know with 1.4xTC III, IQ is still very good.

Thanks. This is one of few photos I took when the lens first arrived.

I agree. It's great lens to carry around. Took this shot last weekend @ Calico Ghost Town.

John,
I just got back from Maui, doing some renovatiion on our condo, didn't have much time playing with it yet. Kinda hard for me to give you good thoughts about this lens. Need more times

 

[jdramirez]

I was using my 70-200mm today for softball... it would have been tough to limit myself to only 200mm... so I think I may be keeping the lens even if I do elect to upgrade to the 200 f2...

I don't blame you!!! The 200 f2??? : You're shooting with class!!! early Christmas present? Congrats!!!
Didn't you pick up a 600 not too long ago Dylan???

Glad you had a change of heart Dylan It's too versatile a lens for me to consider selling mine. I was at a V8 race car ride day yesterday and shot some group portraits at the indoor breakfast followed by some track action in variable light after. I would love the 200/2 as well as I would use that in different circumstances.

My 6yrs got picked as top five swimmers in her class. She will be competing tomorrow with other teams. Can't wait to shoot with my 1DX. The 400mm will be mounted on 5D III this time. Wish I have another 1DX... :

 

[Roo]

Wish I have another 1DX... :

...and Christmas is just around the corner ;D

 

[tiger82]

I have both and can't imagine giving one of them up
