I've owned the 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS I for close to 10 years with the predominant use case of shooting sports on a 7D Mark I. I'm now moving to college sports and am working on generally trying to "raise my game" a few notches along the way. I bought the 1DXII body and have been amazed by its capabilities. It is still FAR more capable than its owner! I shoot mostly indoor fast-action sports, accompanied by tough lighting and difficult AF Tracking situations.
Having read many of the technical reviews on the 70-200mm I vs II, I was hoping to get some feedback from folks who have used both in real-world settings. For those that have, knowing what you know now, was your upgrading from I to II a good choice in hindsight? I understand that is a question that leads to very subjective answers, but it's that subjectivity that interests me at the moment.
Thanks!
