I sold my f/2 135L and my 70-200 2.8L IS (I) to buy this lens. Absolutely no regrets. The 135 was an amazing lens, but without IS, I was just not always willing to shoot with it under about 1/100 due to camera shake.
Pros:
- fantastic images throughout the range and apertures
Cons:
- Just not a good walk-around lens due to size

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens Review
Perhaps the most versatile of all moderate tele zoom focal lengths, the 70-200mm or thereabouts range is a hallmark and standard-bearer for many optical companies. Being a constant aperture (fast) zoom, this lens opens up numerous focusing, depth of field and perhaps as important low light shooting...

Expensive, heavy, and totally worth it!
If you are considering this lens as an upgrade, do it sooner rather than later. If you are thinking that it's too expensive, and a lessser lens will work 'just as well' you are wrong.
Pros:
- This lens takes razor sharp pictures in every situation
- Low light, sports, portraits, and anything else
- I had been using the 75-300 IS F/4.5-5.6 Canon lens, but was having difficulty with school gyms and their low light
- This lens blows it out of the water!
Cons:
- This lens is heavy
- And expensive
- But the quality is unmatched, and the images it produces are outstanding

Great lens. Costs a fortune. People are always saying, go with the 70 - 200 f 4.0 L. It's lighter and more affordable, yes, but that's where the comparisons end. Read the lenstip review if you don't believe me.
Pros:
- Incredible images
- Image stabilization....wow....I hear and see all these comments about how people should use tripos or use stabilizers with a telephoto lens of the length
- Well I would have to say that, I cannot shoot hand held video without tripod or stabilizer on any of my L lenses except my 24...
Cons:
- No kidding it really is heavy
- It is the only lens that I own where I can feel a bit of "play" with the way the lens fits on the body
- I actually feel a bit uncomfortable carrying the of it around with just one hand on the camera body
- I use a mark iii 5d

If Calsberg made lenses...
This is an expensive lens however you could consider offsetting the cost by not needing/selling any prime lens within the given range. This lens performs as good as or very close to the primes.
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Rugged
- Durable
- Strong Construction
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons:
- Heavy

"My ""Partner in Crime!"""
"One of the best tidbits of advice I have ever received was to buy this lens. And so I did from the Henry's booth at the Exposure Show (fall 2011). And I love it. And so I am passing the advice forward. This lens is the workhorse of my kit.
