Just announced, the new 70-200mm is a step forward in the SP line up. After the 150-600mm G2, this is the second in G2 - the first that is f2.8 and their most premium optics.
NOTE - I have only shot with this for 15 minutes - so I cannot make a definitive call - but this looks like a winner. The focus was snappy, images look great... but I want to put it through its paces more before giving a verdict.
