It's sharp as razor, extremely good images quality, excellent range
A few additional stops can be the difference between getting that one shot or getting a blurred image
The images I shoot with the MKII 2.8 70-200 are mostly indistinguishable from that lens.
Extremely sharp and crisp images, fast-steady-silent auto-focus and great in low light situation
Of course, chances of blurry image depends on stability on one's hand and I noticed that with my hands, 1/10s is the slowest I am comfortable with with low chances of getting blurry pictures due to camera shake
The autofocus is fast and precise produces very sharp photos and great bokeh
Like a Steinway piano makes any piano player sound better, this lens makes any photographer take better photos.
This lens has helped capture the majority of my most favorite and memorable photos outdoors and in.
My own hands blurred the photo, and I missed what should have been the money shot
Thus, I was often disappointed when I came home to find that some photos were blurred (especially those of my children participating in school events).
Sharp, contrasty, and beautiful color rendition; other than bokeh, there is no difference between this and the 135L; my copy focuses faster and more accurately than the prime
Beautiful color saturation and sharpness at any aperture.
It's super tack sharp, renders beautiful colors and creamy smooth Bokeh.
I am not too happy with the 24-70 L it lacks sharpness and color if I am any
I am a hobbyist photographer, and I wanted to see what the "L-Lens" hype was all about
It is MUCH sharper than my 24-70L. Unbelievable bokeh as well
This thing better have some pretty spectacular bokeh because that is all it has over the f/4

The focal length works very well for portrait work and allows you to work from quite a distance from your subject, which is nice for people that are not used to being in front of the camera, as they don't feel like you're right in their face!Pros: Great quality, tack sharp, shallow DOF, and nice bokeh.
I am pleased to say the bokeh is beautiful on this lens.
I agonized over the upgrade for as long as it took to save the money.
The IS truly is greatly improved over version I, it really does give a 4-stop advantage
But when you consider the factors - quality of build, quality of image, quality of IS, light gathering power, and the reasonable expectation that this will be a purchase you only have to make once to get literally a lifetime of exceptional use and value out of the thing - it is worth what it costs.
I will update this as I use the lens more, but, so far it far exceeds expectations.
The feel of the focus and zoom rings are about as "perfect" as it can get.
if you need the wide aperture and take pictures of sports events with low light or at your kids school play this lens is awesome - super fast focus and great low light shots

My son does competitive gymnastics and I got tired of blurry too-slow shutter speed shots of his competitions
I missed some great shots I could have made earlier with this lens.
and I saw a fellow photographer knocking down GREAT shots with the
Briefly, the newer features over the Mark 1 are: new fluorite elements - increased optical quality and reduced CA and less flare (as to whether that is that good or bad is subjective)
but I read that the sharpness and IS have both been improved.
This lens has amazing sharpness across the focal range.
I am not too happy with the 24-70 L it lacks sharpness and color if I am any
The sharpness cannot be defeated from 80-200mm in any zoom lens.
IS lens may suffer from a little bit disadvantage in background blur.
Background blur "bokeh" is pleasing (great for portraits)
Blurred, out-of-focus specular highlights are a little harsher in the mk II than in the mk I resulting in a background blur for portraits that isn't as smooth as in the mk I, but I tend to value the improved sharpness, contrast and IS moreso than I weigh the bokeh effect generated by the mk II lens.
I have used and owned numerous Canon lenses, and this is the best L lens, and arguably the finest
Now that the price has come down, about $130 from the original price, that should pay for a good B+W 77mm UVA (Ultra Violet
