My guess is he will sell when Canon releases the 24-70L IS II or 100-400L IS II.

Wonderful photos in this thread! That football shot by Hrow was stunningly brilliant

Rich's hummingbirds pictures are stunning ... and since it's so darn hard keeping up with those Hummers as they move soooo fast, I "cheat" and just take pictures of the baby hummingbirds in their nest - more pics/videos at that link. ;-)
I especially like the second picture which gives you an idea of scale - I had no idea that fly was there until I reviewed the pics afterward.

WRT Baby Hummingbird Pics: Thanks Dawei, Jim, and Rich for the compliments - as noted on the webpage, I was real lucky to have this experience. I'm not a birder, but have been told they are Broad Tailed Hummingbirds.

This was in-stride with a 1D Mk IV, cropped pretty heavily, taken at about 180mm, with him about 40 feet away.
That's one nicely intense shot.

Here's a bit of a change of pace... 70mm, probably f2.8

Hi all,
i don't usually contribute to the gear forums but can't resist this one. I just got the lens a couple of weeks ago and am delighted with it. Replaced the version 1 which I also liked very much.

Hey Phil,
this was taken near /or at your house ? Got a friend of whose house is very near one of those in the foreground !
Fantastic view from those houses !

Have had only a few weeks with the lens, but the results are really good in terms of optics, handling and focus speed. Not quite what the 200/2 offers, but the differences between the two lenses are smaller that I expected.

Great stuff, John! I particularly like the portrait - the lighting is just beautiful and the composition is very good. Well done!

I have been trying to convince myself I need the 200f/2 but every time I use the 70-200, my conscience said I don't.

Gorgeous high-key image! No you don't need the 200/2 ... unless you MUST have f2, which is the only thing it has going for it. The 70-200 II has soooo much more to offer (70-200 range) .... for so much less money!
