I don't quite get why the 70-200 f/2.8 Non IS and IS Mk1 are slated on every photography forum I use. They're not as sharp as the Mk2 well bully for the people with the Mk2. Of course revisions of a lens are going to be better than the original. Is that to say that the non-IS or IS Mk1 should be avoided? I really don't see why, at the time both were lusted after by many and they were and still are superb lenses. If you need an f/2.8 70-200 you can't go wrong with any of them, if you need weather sealing get one of the IS versions. If you don't need weather sealing or IS get the non-IS you will not be disappointed.
Well, the Mk 1 f2.8 IS was perfectly acceptable before the Mk2 came along. Now, the new model is very, very good, but the Mk1 didn't suddenly stop producing great images overnight. It's just that the bar has been lifted to a greater level.
I presume you are talking about a MkII?
Yes, one of the issues of using an iPad whilst on a busy train :bang:
