Good point. You hit the nail on the head here "the choice mainly comes down to aperture vs. size/weight/cost." The difference being $1170 makes me really examine my


needs. I would absolutely love the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II if I can afford it/don't mind carrying it.





I got a chance to play around with shutter speeds and flash Sync today and was surprised how fast I could shoot and still get a sharp picture with HSS. I was indoors and shooting at


1/1000 f/4 ISO 400 and could get a sharp nearly fully exposed image. Granted the subject was 12' away but nearly pitch black. I'll have to do some more to see what's possible.


Thanks for bringing my attention to the force 1/250 shutter speed in AV mode.
