Lens question

[swiftflo]

Can anyone tell me if the Canon 24-70mm Mark 2 Lens has built in IS ?.

No

No

Thanks

Apparently the Tamron 24-70 G2 has 5 stops of IS but users report more like 3.5 stops in their view.

That's what I heard anyway

Well worth remembering

The Canon EF 24-70 f4 IS lens does! Don't know how it compares in sharpness to the 24-70 Mk II but I'm sure an internet search for comparison tests and reviews would soon put you right on that.

Based on my copy, the f/4 IS was a long way behind the f/2.8 MKII.....very disappointing.

Dont think it was miles behind the mk1 though, my boy's F4 was pretty close to my 2.8 mk 1, then again I need IS for most of my shots

You're probably right there. I bought the f/4 IS to use for Liveview on IR bodies and hoped it would be somewhat comparable to the 16-35/4 IS as a new generation lens....mine wasn't.
