Why would you plunk down over $1500 for a prime, wide angle? There is just something magic about this lens to me. The Mark I version was a favorite lens of mine to shoot dogs with. You couldn&#8217;t match the background blur, color and build quality of that lens. I was always very happy with it but when Canon announced a Mark II version&#8230; I was intrigued. But I did hold off for some reviews&#8230; plus they weren&#8217;t in stock ANYWHERE. (I actually got a decent deal on eBay and used www.live.com 8% cashback program).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/fourpaws\/joey2\/joey211.jpg\" target=\"new\/\" rel=\"lightbox noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/fourpaws\/joey2\/joey211.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the reviews all indicated marginally better sharpness and much better build quality. That&#8217;s exactly what I found too. It does focus a little faster and more reliably than the Mark I version. It&#8217;s truly a beautiful lens and take AMAZING photos.
