It is exactly 4 weeks to the day I bought a Mk-II here on FM, but was mortified to use it without a UV filter 
I do know that filters are over-rated and all that but still...) Finally my filters arrived today (another purchase here on FM) and here is one SOOC. I am going to love this 
Thank you DrPete, your lens is awesome !!

Seriously ... trying shooting with and w/o the filter ... as you may find that shooting naked is best i.e. the lens - not you.

Great shots here everyone!!! Wish Ihad the opportunities Michael & Joshua do with the masked shots...Oh well...I'll take what I can get. These were taken with my beat up 2x II on the 70-200L IS II ...
Gotta say this lens "Is for the birds!!!"

CarlG,
These are some of the nicest concert shots I have seen!!! Including some nice catchlights in their eyes.
Did you use a flash?
If you don't mind, would you please share your settings, etc.. ?
Again, nice shots.
Sincerely,
Randal

I dont know why but I keep dipping into this thread . I then have to go off into the corner and chant "I love my MDP"
I think I'll have to glue my eyes shut or my wallet is going to get a hit

For those of you who have used the 70-200/2.8 IS and the MKII extensively in low light/low contrast conditions how would you rate the AF accuracy between the two? I've had issues with my 70-200/2.8 IS when used in low light at a distance where the focus light of a 580EXII wouldn't reach the target. The lens would literally hunt and stall. From what I've heard/read so far the MKII seems improved in this area, but some more feedback never hurts.
