Talk me out of my 70-200 f2.8 IS

TheCanon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II Lens is lighter and much more affordable. Image quality isn't really important, anyway. [img]/emoticons/emotion-5.gif[/img]</sarcasm>

Why waste money on such an expensive and heavy lens like the 80-200 f/4.5-5.6 II? It would be lighter and much more affordable to just smash the bottom off of a coke bottle and duct tape it to the lens mount. []

The Canon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II Lens clearly the best lens for you then! You'll lack versitility with a prime like Coca-Cola's EF Coke II or the EF Diet Coke II. []


Besides, the pictures that I get from my EF Coke II have this brownish tint to them... I don't understand why...
