Previous lens is still a very solid option, heavy, expensive
If there's anything I can say against buying the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM it's that there's a reason the previous lens was in Canon's line-up for so long. The older 70-200mm f/2.8 is an excellent piece of glass and the type of workhorse that's hard to...
Abstract: The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is astonishing. It really is the sharpest zoom I've ever tested. Heck, after shooting mostly for the past couple of years, I forgot that my could make images this sharp. Not only is...

Decreased minimum focus distance lets you get closer to your subject; IS II image stabilizer technology lets you shoot at slower shutter speeds; very fast autofocus even in low light; excellent overall image quality with razor sharpness.
Not imperative to upgrade if your older lens is still working fine; locking lens hood hard to get used to at first.
Though the wait has been long, Canon’s finally delivered an indispensable new pro lens suited for a range of photographers: the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. While the changes between the new lens and the previous version are not dramatic, that’s actua...
Some of you may have already followed our full format review of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM L IS II. The lens performed highly impressive here already but it's even better on APS-C DSLRs due to the sweet spot effect ("center" crop) here. The resol...
It was about time. The old Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM L IS (mk I) was a good lens but hardly something to rave about especially when used at 200mm. Canon claims to have the leadership in the tele lens arena and they probably do but so far with the ex...
