A friend of mine got an offer from someone with a canon 200mm f/2.8 I lens to swap for his 70-200mm f/4. Is this a good swap? I love my 200 f/2.8 II but i don't know the differences between it and the earlier version. I know there aren't a lot of people here who have either prime lens, but I'm looking for opinions anyway. Thanks!

I cant comment on the trade but theres quite a few people with both lenses...

200mm F2.8

200mm F2.8 II

although I love my 70-200 f/4 I think I'd make that trade in a heartbeat ... I seem to use mine @ 200mm most of the time and to have a 2.8 vs 4 would be huge in my book ...

alright thanks for your input so far. What's the difference between the mark i and ii? its hard to find mtf charts for both and even harder to find good comparisons

Other than the hoods, according to this review of the MKII there's not a lot different between the two lenses.
