Here are a couple sample shots of the new 70 -200 2.8IS ll. I have posted some previously, but this lens still just blows me away!!! And we're not talking charts, just real world examples. Granted, it is a shot of one of our cats....but check out the detail in the fur. Unbelievable!! Shot was taken with 5Dll at ISO 800 with 580EXll mounted on camera with dome diffuser. The full shot taken RAW, with NO sharpening at all, and output sharpening turned off in LR 2.6. Focus on left eye with top focus point, no recompose.


120mm 2.8@1/125th manual mode

This is about an almost 1:1 crop(a tad less)...to show detail. Look at the hair on the left ear...
