I own Canon 70-200 f2.8 L USM II and would like to know the difference between the new version MK3, is worth upgrading?
In my opinion it's not worth the upgrade to be honest Jack. You would get a similar lens with a new paint job, no huge advantages for the Mk III really just minor improvements and a whiter paint. Stick with what you have, it's optically just as good to be honest.I own Canon 70-200 f2.8 L USM II and would like to know the difference between the new version MK3, is worth upgrading?

I saw a lot of reviews on YouTube, some said that is worth upgrading some said no, I also went to the shop, and yes, is different paint and an other mark there. Have you purchased straight MK3 or you have upgraded?In my opinion it's not worth the upgrade to be honest Jack.

I bought the Mk III straight, if I had the Mk II though I would not upgrade to be fair unless I went for the RF lensIn my opinion it's not worth the upgrade to be honest Jack.

that makes sense. The price is also high of MK3, probably you can get the second hand mk2 and save some cash. When I first bought the mk2 brand new, the guy from the shop said to me that I was lucky to get the last one in stock. Then I would definitely not consider upgrading. Probably they took the old one mk2, did some minor changes and increased the price.In my opinion it's not worth the upgrade to be honest Jack.

I actually owe you an apology Jack, I double checked my lens and it is indeed the MkII anyway, so I stand by comment about not worth the upgrade.. Hahaha, I am getting old and forgetful I think.In my opinion it's not worth the upgrade to be honest Jack.

I actually find myself using it almost every day at the moment, am trying to build a collection of nature images here in Thailand so usually I find myself reaching for this lens. I use my 16-35mm for Milky Way images and general landscapes but I like the added reach of the 70-200 when I am just pottering around the garden or fields looking for interesting subjects rather than general landscapes.In my opinion it's not worth the upgrade to be honest Jack.

I do agree, I do use it often as well, but sometimes I find difficult to take images because I'm using it on crop camera 7d m2 and that's even extra reach. That's why I'm thinking on getting 24-70 lens. Not sure if that is sharp as 70-200 IIIn my opinion it's not worth the upgrade to be honest Jack.
