The 4 stop IS of this lens is terrific for low light conditions where even handheld 1/15 sec shots at 200mm are useable. Im glad Canon solved the noisey whirl of the Mk I image stabiliser in this update.
The focus is fast and accurate, perhaps a tad more accurate than the Mk I and closer to the speed of the 70-200/4 IS.
The 1.2m mfd gives a little more freedom which could be handy and portrait and close up situations.
The new colored skin and hood texture is a welcome though the slight increase in weight and length over the original lens can somewhat be noticed.
This is definitely a lens that u can rely on to get u that quality image.

Even with decent cropping applied and basic adjustments this lens can produce some sharp images. The smoothness of the bokeh is pleasing...
