Should You Upgrade? NEW Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens Comparison

How is this price

Honestly thought there was no point for this new version and i never even looked into the mark 3. But the difference in contrast is pretty crazy and really worth it!

I love my 70-200 F2.8ii, but …. it’s heavy to carry when travelling. (5D MK3)

I tried renting from lensrentals.com after watching this video and the day before they cancelled my order! They wanted personal information like the name of my employer and job title and a personal or business website. I guess maybe regular people/non-photographer can't order from here . I don't know, it sounded scammish.

Thanks guys , I bought the mark iii, its fantastic with strong backlighting. First thing i tried. cheers

OMG, Is this video real or a promotion for the new 3rd gen lens ? Is the the 2nd gen lens so horrible? I remember all the youtubers all these years with magnificent feedbacks about the 2nd gen lens…

Hey Northups! I think you did in 2014 70-200 lenses comparison from different brands. It would be nice to revisit with the latest additions from Canon (also f4 version) and Tamron G2. Also i'd like to see video for the best 70-200 lens for Sony FE. f4 is slow and GM 2.8 is super pricey. How would Tamron G2 or Canon 2.8II or III work on Sony cameras, would they be valuable options or not?

If I may ask, Mr. Tony Northrup, how does auto-focus compare of both the 70-200 F2.8 IS MK 2 and MK 3 compare to each other? The reason why I ask is because, just this morning, I compared both the MK 2 and MK 3 lenses and the latter seemed to focus a bit faster and I was just wondering if you also had the same observation. Thanks.

If i am using 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens with extender 2x iii, then how much maximum aperture will I get as I heard extender effects the aperture of lens?

Thanks – getting the New Lens!

The most efficient photography review on YouTube. Thank you!

Tony should have been sitting and Chelsea doing the shooting….

Purchased this mark III the other day. Had forgotten how heavy this model is. But it's a decent zoom. It was even $60 cheaper than mark II on a sale in Sweden, so it was a no brainer.

I have the 1st version. Maybe time to upgrade.

Would this be a good lens to VIDEO indoor basketball with low lighting (neighborhood gym)? I have a canon 80d. Mahalo

me acabo de comprar la version ii uras!!! y me tiran la peor los odio

Guys this was a great review. Thanks

no vale la pena el cambio para muchos todos quieren menos peso y lentes fijos

tony old, me new darling

I’m confused which one to consider between 70-200 version ii and sigma sport and grey market version iii. They’re all almost same price. I’ll be upgrading from the version i and photography is a hobby for me. So I won’t care for minute differences.

You guys are awesome! Looking forward to get the book!

1970s porn music makes any video better

I have a friend who upgraded to the Mark III and will be selling me the First Generation for a good price. I’m not a pro so I don’t need it to be perfect. Great video, straight to the point

Short video and to the point! What a relief compared to other YouTubers. I'll be watching more of your videos!

WOW! The backlight comparison was unbelievable! Thanks

Did anyone notice on mark iii in really low light locks focus really slow comparing with the previous version ,maybe is the new coating on the front and back element?🤔

This is smelling a bit advertisement

I got the Mark I, and this video is really making me consider getting the Mark III !

What u guys think about Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS mark 1 version?

So this new lens is better than tamron 70-200 2.8 g2 lens?

Have a better idea, buy a Neutral Density filter, screw it on the front of the version II and you have a version III

I would’ve preferred this to be more review oriented than just one big ad

Thanks for the review, I have the older is version, and bought it years ago and it's in good condition. While it's nice to see a difference in my case I would keep what I have.

Hi guys

Let me ask you: I own a copy of EF-70-200 f/4L IS. Recently I purchased a 5D Mk IV. In your opinion, (regarding sharpness and bokeh mostly: portrait is what I like), is it worth the upgrade? Down here in Brazil Canon is offering a sale on the new Mark 3.

Thanks

Mark iii link is broken even waiting 4 seconds.

as the model is sitting there like.. Dude hurry it up. lol

Great video. Do you do these test with the lenses straight out of the box or do you micro adjust them first? Some of the sharpness difference could be a simple micro adjustment. Awesome videos.

The model smiles more on the mark III, then maybe that one is better 😉

Hi guys,

I have the V2 70-200. Is it worth upgrading to the RF 70-200? I don't see a reason to upgrade to the V3 EF 70-200, now that I have the EOSR, altho I can save 1000.00 now with going EF V3. Have you guys compared these 2?

Hi Tony and Chelsea I love your videos, I’m a concert photographer here in Charleston and I’m looking to get the 70 -200 lens but my question was what exactly is the flash you’re using because I really want a low-profile flash just like that for my new Mark IV, Thank You!
