Canon 300/2.8L IS or 200/2L IS......?????

[JJphoto]

both cost north of 4.5k although the 300 is somewhat less expensive

check bryan's link here, you can still get the 300mm 2.8 for $4120, while 200mm 2.0 selling for more than $5000. I don't know if it is enough for you to choose the 300mm 2.8? BTW, will Canon offer $500 rebate for 200mm 2.0 again?

I am using the 5DMII body.

for FF body, 200mm may be a little short for birds?

Most of the vendors seem to have a replacement lens case and their own one year warranty instead of the Canon warranty.

any link?
