Please post your thoughts, feedback and sample photos. Also check current reviews on this lens here.

Copy from Canon's website:
"Improving upon one of the most celebrated lenses in the Canon EF line is no easy feat, but Canon has done just that. The all-new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM increases the speed, performance and optical quality of the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM while maintaining all of the characteristics that have made it a legend for professionals and advanced amateurs alike. The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM features one fluorite and five UD elements for increased optical quality and reduced chromatic aberration. It has a minimum focusing distance of 1.2m/3.9 ft. at all zoom settings, which is useful for photographers in smaller spaces trying to get closer to a subject. It features a next-generation Optical Image Stabilizer, providing up to 4 stops of correction at all focal lengths. And as with all L-series lenses, the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is dust- and moisture-resistant and designed for use in the challenging environments typical of rigorous professional use."

• Focal Length & Maximum Aperture: 70-200mm 1:2.8
• Lens Construction: 23 elements in 19 groups (1 Fluorite and 5 UD elements)
• Diagonal Angle of View: 34° - 12°
• Focus Adjustment: Inner focusing system with USM. Full-time manual focus available.
• Closest Focusing Distance: 1.2m/3.94 ft. (maximum close-up magnification: 0.21x)
• Filter Size: 77mm
• Max. Diameter x Length, Weight: 3.5 x 7.8 in./88.8 x 199mm; 52.6 oz./1490g

What is the point of that photo? You should be shooting tests in comparison to the original 70-200/2.8 IS.

FWIW, I've received a screw from Canon in a box that large.

Took the photo for Craig at Canonrumors... since I took those photos might as well post it on FM.

Would you happen to have a better, more balanced comparison b/t the MKI and the MKII?

I can already tell that first crop is substantially better than the MkI. The MkI would show CA while the MkII surprisingly shows none.

I'm glad there are others that have the same thoughts I do DOOD. It's a box. Inside that box is a lens. Do we really need to see your exif data, regardless of what lens you used? I'm glad you posted photos from the new lens to justify this thread.
