I'm posting a bunch today, since they're all from my first test shots with my new EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM lens. I've been using the Series I version of this lens for several years and finally moved up to take advantage of the 1.5lbs weight decrease and 2-stop improvement in the IS. The IQ is supposed to be ever so slightly better that's a hard area to improve.

 

I'm very happy. AF accuracy seems to be accurate and contrast and color are as expected, perfect.
