My First L???

[Jayson]

Thank you all for your advise. This is going to be a tough choice.

Hey Jayson...here's my 2 cents, along with everybody else's. I currently own the f4 IS and it is a stellar lens, and I do mean stellar. Granted it is a stop slower than the 2.8, but it weighs half as much(the f4 IS weighs less than my 28-70L), has fantastic IS, is sharp, and I mean sharp wide open, corner to corner. It might not be the best sports lens, but here is an example of my dog Rajah, chasing the ball and jumping....but this lens does everything else right, too. this pic taken with 5D ll, 70-200 f4IS, iso 400, 200mm, 5.6@1/2500. Your choice, but you really can't go wrong with either.[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.22.00/Rajah-jumping_2D00_0850-_5B00_800x600_5D00_.jpg[/img]
