Canon 70-200 2.8 is the II worth the exta over the I?
I have a Sigma 70-200 2.8 which I really like but the focus isn't great on a moving target. Having some Christmas cash, I was thinking of buying the Canon(used from KEH). Should I save up/ spend the extra and get the version II?
Thanks.
Thanks.

the II version just has the better IS system that was designed for the efl 70-200 f-4 is usm.
you might get an exta stop out of it due to the new IS system...
i have the f-4 variente but have shot a lot with the older f2.8 varient...
i don't think the efl 70-200 f-2.8 IS USM II is worth the money...
but thats my opinion....

i couldn't see $1000 worth of difference, or maybe my 40D couldn't resolve any differences...
however a 40D is pretty tack sharp camera, even by todays standards....
it may not have the dynamic range of the 7D or a 5d, but sharp is still sharp...
i went for the efl 70-200 f4 is usm...
but as mentioned earlier, i find myself still using my ef 70-300 is usm more often...

The new Nikkor 70-200mm f/4 is also superb. I would own one if I did not already have a 70-200 f/2.8
