Shutterbug got the better part of me.

I just picked up the Canon 70-200 F/2.8 IS II yesterday and it is a damned nice lens with great bokeh. Wide open it is very sharp, and at F/4 it is just as sharp as my trusty 70-200 F/4 IS wide open.

Both lenses AF are just as quick as each others for outdoor and indoor (not extreme low light), and the draw back is that the F/2.8 weight twice as much and cost almost twice as much as the F/4.

End rant.

At least it doubles as a portrait lens, so you potential got a 2-for-1 deal if you didn't already have a portrait lens.

I also have the 100L that also can double duty as a portrait lens (excellent contrast). And, I'm waiting for the rumored Sigma 135mm F/1.8 or F/2 Art lens.
