[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 624559, member: 13090"] Well, based on what I've seen I would say the G2, in reality, is a whole new lens. Pretty much every aspect, or at least every aspect important to me, has been improved on the G2. Everything from the speed and accuracy of the auto-focus to overall IQ, build quality, weather-sealing... The list goes on. One other small point, but one that excites me probably more than it should: the tripod collar has an Arca Swiss style mounting bracket built right into the collar... Brilliant! I really hope that concept "catches fire" with other manufacturers. Now, I say these positive things about the G2 based on having watched and/or read pretty much every review there is of this lens, some of them several times, but nothing more. So yeah, I'll admit I'm putting a lot of faith in people like Dustin Abbott because a fast 70-200 is my Number One Go-To lens. This is the one lens I count on to be 100%, 100% of the time and they're all telling me this IS that lens. Pics will [I]definitely[/I] follow. [/QUOTE]
