No they have not updated this lens, its one of the oldest lenses in their line up. I know Photozone rated it 3.5/5. They rated the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II at 4.5 stars and that is the worlds best 70-200mm lens. Probably one of the best lenses in the world. I don't know how you could fault that lens.
From what I can see from the images the guys have supplied above and the ones I have found on the net, I think the lens would be fine. B&H rate it at 4.5/5 (312 reviews), while Amazon has it at 4.8/5 (126 reviews) although they come from users and not actual quantified testing.
Ha, I would love to rent one. I looked up a few places. Of the places I looked up, they do not stock that lens. However, the lenses they do stock for hire you're looking at upwards of $100 per day minimum! Far too costly. I don't know of other options that fit the price range I am looking at that can exceed the results of this lens and suit a full frame chip.
