I did a quick comparison of the new Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS Version II vs the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS Version II

I was told the new IS technology provides up to 4 stops hand-holdability. I thought, yeah, right. So, I zoomed to 200mm, set it 1/15th of a second and shot it alongside our Version I. Color me convinced! We ordered a bunch on the spot. If anyone wants one, a phone call and deposit puts you at the front of the line.
