the non-Is would do great for sports and outdoors activities! You don't need IS for that. To be honest, paying almost double for IS is something that must be justifiable for me. Since you got the 85mm 1.8 the IS version won't be needed for indoor/low-light shooting nor portraits.


I think you're better off buying the non-Is version for almost half the money and save up for a better replacement of your 18-55 in the long run.


Anyway enjoy your new lens!! []
