Those look great Eric, I'm also getting this lens before my Yellowstone trip next May, looks like a winner
Colin, I think you will love the versatility...the bokeh isn't quite up to the longer lenses but the trade off in being able to walk around for hours and hours with it makes this a great addition to my kit.

Just got mine today. On, of course, a heavily overcast day!
I've done but a bit of preliminary shooting and comparisons with the original. So far, I'm impressed with it's sharpness and contrast wide open on the 5D3, with and without the Canon Mk II 1.4X.
The jury is still out on its performance with the aftermarket teleconverter on the 70D - its focus system isn't quite as good (not really rated for an f/8 combination anyway) and I was running out of light so I had to deal with high ISO and slow shutter speeds.
The IS is silent, and the focus is very fast. Still lots of testing and comparing to do over the next few days.
Oh, I did note that the close focus distance is a definite plus. It's almost a macro lens, well 1/3 of a macro anyway. Very useful.

Thanks for your comments...I've yet to try it with the tc but I expect it will hold up just fine.

I've always had very good success with my V1.
I'd like to compare one to another myself to see what difference there is in real life.
If you have a great V1 copy you may not appreciate that much of a difference...for me it is night and day....and the V1 hasn't seen the light of day in 3+ years as a result!

These images look vaguely familiar. I can't quite put my finger on it.
In any case, I recently got one of these lenses (oddly enough, it was the exact moment you lost your first copy - go figure) and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
These look good. I have the version 1 as well so I'm looking forward to comparing the two.

Coincidence, I think not I suspect you will love this lens on a second body to compliment your longer ones....and for those long wolf tracking adventures
