My new 70-200 f/2.8L IS II arrived

[Kayaker72]

Question on the tripod mount. I find it rotates a little rough compared to the f/4 IS. On the f/4, the barrel is smooth, so the fuzzy side of the ring lets it rotate pretty nice. With the f/2.8 it has the 4 little bearings and they clack against the 4 slots in the ring as you rotate. Is that to be expected?

Same with others, that is what mine does as well.

Enjoy. I don't often thing about which lens is my "favorite." More about what lens to do what I want.....but......

If 70-200 II hasn't become my favorite it is darn close.
