So I now have both the 24-70 2.8 L and the 70-200 2.8 L II. I have to say that they're right, the L glass is addictive. I can't go back now. The 70-200 2.8 L II lens I haven't had much chance to use yet... been busy playing catch-up... but what I have seen tells me this lens is a monster, and insanely sharp and capable. Image stabilized, I can get good sharpness hand held at 200 mm with a shutter speed of 1/10th of a second. That's 5 stops improvement, better than they even advertise!
Ironically, what I bought the lens for may now no longer be worth my time to be doing (wedding photography) since this business is doing so well... but wow, what fun I am having with this lens when I have time to use it. Just wish it wasn't so damned conspicuous!
