Thanks for your insight Willcons,


I believe I've already made my choice to go with the 70-200mm f2.8. It seems like the best lens for me at this point. I believe that I will end up buying the 100-400mm eventually as it would be better for wildlife and some other projects, but the 70-200mm can fit into a more common use for me. (I live about three hours away from the Rockies, so while it's not far from me I still have to make a trip to try and find some wildlife).


I will definatly be saving up for the f2.8 instead of the f4, it will give me more options and will definatly help with outdoor football (American) photography and actual football photography.


Thanks!
