i am sorry but i totally disagree with your assessment and comparison of 70-300 L and 70-200 f4.0IS when it comes to IQ!!!! show me your best shot with 70-300 L and i'll show you my best shot with 70-200 f4.0IS at 200 FL. by the way, i think 70-300 L is a superb lens but not better than 4.0IS II!!! i have seen these baseless comparison between those 3 lenses with no evidence to substantiate those claims! also, the 70-200 f4.0IS has the 4 stop IS as well

Disagree all you like. As I currently own both lenses I know what I see. I have no need to prove anything to anyone, im just relaying when my eyes see.

I will agree the 70-300 isn't sharper in every respect, but overal I find the images from the 70-300 more pleasing and with a bit more punch.

Not sure what the 4.0IS II is.

Perhaps he meant to put a space between the 4.0 and IS.

Perhaps we should all proof read our posts before hitting the post button.
