Thinking about purchasing this lens, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens. Anyone own this lens? if so, how do you like it?

Nope, I don't, Nikon guy here. But it's an 'L' lens so it's top of the line. Just be patient there are plenty on the forum that are Canon shooters and have that lens. Just wait a bit :)
Anyway WELCOME TO UHH!!

Thanks but I'm sticking with Canon...
One of canons best portrait lenses. If you have this lens and add the new 24-70 f2.8L your set if your doing portraits. I own both these lenses and the 85 1.2l. Get the last one only if you shoot for a living.
Whether or not you get the 70-200 or 24-70 first is not a right or wrong thing.
Both lenses give tack sharp results.
Your on the right track.

I do own the 24-70 and love it. Canon lens are on the top of the market in my eyes.
I think I will end up getting it by the end of the day...Thanks for the input.

Donna,
I have this lens and it is absolutely fabulous. It is at the top of the Canon lens "food chain". The 2.8 and IS are both worth it. It isn't cheap but over the long haul, it's definitely a fanatastic worthwhile purchase.
I use this lens for shooting dance competition photos - no flash, iffy lighting and it meaures up wonderfully.
Enjoy your purchase.

Thanks, you guys are great.
Just made the purchase after reading a few other reviews.
I have quite a few Canon lens now and have wanted this one for awhile.

You can't go wrong with pairing the 70-200 with your 24-70. You will get great reach and the bokeh possible is amazing. I have the 24-70, 70-200, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, and 100 macro. :)
If you are unsure (it's a large purcahse) you can rent it for a weekend and see if it's a great fit for you, I'm pretty sure you will not want to return it.

I use both the 24-70mm and 70-200mm; and I find that that the 70-200 is even a tad sharper and has better contrast than the 24-70. They are a great pair, no matter if you shoot with an APS or a Full Frame sensor.

I have the non IS version of the 70-200mmF2.8, love it for sport pictures. It is also about a 1,000 cheaper!
