Ikzelf heb 'm niet,.. schiet nog lekker met de mkI,.... voor mij een super stukje glas,.. en totaal geen reden om het extra geld uit te geven zolang deze nog gewoon goed is.
Ja, de vignette beheerising is in de II beter geworden, maar daar lever je weer iets aan "hoek-scherpte" voor in,.... voor mij is vignette eigenlijk een non-issue want a. het is software matig te verhelpen, en b. op 200mm en 2.8 is het het meest,.. en geen van beide zijn waardes die ik veel gebruik in de studio.

In addition, there's another issue we haven't talked about yet: the lens' maximum magnification. The 70-200 VR II increases the field of view with close focus. This is not uncommon, in fact any IF lens does this to a certain degree, but only a few do so at a similar amount. At minimum focus distance (MFD) at 200mm the 70-200 VR II provides an image angle equivalent to a 135mm lens.
This issue has been wildly discussed in the community after it was initially noted. While the lack of magnification is undoubtly a fact, anyone considering purchasing this lens should carefully check if it's really an issue for his/her kind of shooting. When shooting close to the MFD at the long end regularly the previous model is probably the better choice,since in this usage scenario its drawbacks, especially lack of corner sharpness, will hardly be an issue. For anyone usually shooting at longer distances the increase of the image field will be less of an issue since it's not much wider here compared to other lenses in this class.
