I rented a 70-200 f2.8 Mk2 for a weekends and was amazed with what could be achieved especially on a body like the 7D.
So I bought one. They are around for a little under £2000 new from a few places (UK not HK) at the moment but the prices seem volatile.
I have also stumbled across a Mk 2 2x extender at a useful price so bought that as well. They will get a work out on a 1D3 this weekend. I have briefly tested the lens with a 2x (and a 1.4x) extender before jumping at this one and the resolution seemed fine. However I have not had a chance to see what effects the f5.6 maximum aperture will have on the AF system for motor sport. Will find out this weekend.
