Just got my new Canon EF 70-200mm 2.8 L IS II USM

I will use this lens for the European Championship. It’s really stunning how Canon improved the IS on this lens. From my point of view it is a little bit sharper and the IS is a little bit more silent then the previous version.

I will be able to do a little review after the next tournament (Sunday).

Here are two test shots to show you how accurate the IS is working:
7d / 200mm / 2.8 / 1/50 sec

7d /200mm / 2.8 / 1/8 sec (just a capture of my LCD Display)

For sure I was shooting booth pics without a stand.
