Hi,
The first really fine Canon lens I bought was the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II, to replace a very nice Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 I'd used for years.
It has been my favorite lens all these years; everything one might want in a lens--sharp; excellent AF, and robust.
It probably has only taken a few thousand images, but it never disappoints.
BTW, I'm not a professional photographer; I don't do events, and I have never used this lens indoors.
When gathering information for our Africa trip, it became clear that I would be happier with the new 100-400 than my 70-200 with a 2xIII. So I bought one.
And it really is a fine lens.
I essentially never use the wide aperture of the 70-200, since I rarely take photos indoors or during dawn/dusk times. I generally use the lens for landscape and wildlife photography.
Most photos I've taken with the lens have been at f/5.6 or slower. And I haven't used the 70-200 since I bought the 100-400 II.
So, to the issue at hand. Although I am sentimentally attached to the 70-200, it seem like I will rarely (if ever) use it again. Is there any compelling reason I should keep the lens, rather than selling it to someone who will use it?
Thanks.
Mark
