So the 70-200 f2.8 IS-II zooms only to 180mm?

Yup, that is the question. Both, the EXIF of pictures taken at 200mm on the lens and later on doing AFMA, FoCal also recorded the 200mm setting on the lens to be 180mm. So what is the deal? Is it a 70-180mm lens? Or if I were to do the arithmetic on the 70mm side, it ends up being a 63-180mm lens. So what am I missing? I mean why does it report a 10% lower focal length?

I hate to say it, but if you're sure you actually had the lens set to 200mm (turned all the way to the stop), I suspect there's something wrong with your lens.

Mine reports 200mm in the EXIF as seen in Mac OS X Preview, Exiftool via the Terminal, and in Reikan FoCal. When I set it to 70mm or 135mm, those values are reported in the EXIF, too.

Many of my pictures taken by 70-200mm f/2.8 MK2 shows 200mm in EXIF. You may want to contact Canon to see if there is any problem with your lens.

Mine also reports 200mm just fine. Have it repaired.

Thanks. I have given it in. They even called and said it is fixed. I will get it tomorrow. Will AFMA it again then.
