From what you've said, I think getting the 70-200 F2.8L IS + 1.4X Extender is the right answer. I don't know what your typical output is but the lens should give you the sports coverage you're looking for and the combo will give you decent wildlife coverage as well.





I've personally gone the other way by selling my 70-200 F4L and acquiring the 200 F2.8L and, soon, the 135 F2.0L. But my stuff is perfect for those two primes plus my 85 F1.8. I'm assuming I'll miss the convenience of the zoom but the additional IQ, speed and bokeh from the primes is a better combination for the types of portraiture I do. However, if I get another zoom it will be the 70-200 F2.8L IS. Big, heavy but great IQ for a zoom.
