If you have a question about car / action / sports photography or Canon Cameras PM me...
thanks Tony . There does seem some improvement but whether it's enough to notice or warrant selling a perfectly good current version is very unlikely.
Also , thanks for the general info re fluorite use. Mongo knows Nikon allegedly tried it once or twice in the 70's or early 80's on possibly a 400mm f5.6 but this is hard to verify it seems. Either way, it seems they never have since as far as Mongo knows - at least in their camera lenses. If they do, they do not seem to advertise that point well or at all.
Yes, Nikkor seem to like keeping things pretty dark in that department. But I do know that Nikon once produced a lens that was all fluorite - yes, every single element, not just the front one (which is the conventional arrangement). A one-off for ultra violet work, apparently. Lord only knows what the price might have been.
Mate if it makes them money they'd release a new version every year, like some software makers do

Wow that isn't friendly on the wallet. I think I'll still stick to the f/4 IS when it comes time to buy a 70-200mm.

Price seems high - more like canon rrp. I will buy one when they hit the streets in numbers and can get a better price.

The first time I saw a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens in a store (in 2005 or so), the price was $3,999. Staggering.
Certainly the mark II is very expensive, but given the stellar performance and quality of the original 70-200/2.8L IS and the price for which it can be purchased, does the new version really justify the quite-significant difference?
Hmm, I think my 70-200f/4 will keep me going for a while. I can't see too many version I's being sold to upgrade so the costs may not come down that much for a while.
Cheers
