Would you consider the added weight and expense of the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM unnecessary?

The wider aperture is unnecessary for me, and now that the latest cameras shoot clean images at ISO 6400+I don't see why anybody needs f/2.8 to freeze subject motion.

I was with you until you made your wording include others as in..."I don't see why anybody needs..."

You and I may not need it, but others may need or want this....in those cases the f/2.8 version is there and is the best choice.

I did not deny that someone else might have a good reason for wanting an f/2.8 version. I merely said that I cannot see why!!
