Shooting with anything other than an f2.8 zoom pretty much always makes you regret not having the f2.8 option. But shooting the 70-200 f2.8 in many general purpose situations will make you regret not having a smaller, lighter lens with IS. And 200mm vs 300mm is a huge difference. Lens choices are always about compromise, but I personally wouldn't compromise on the IS.Originally Posted by Tack Sharp
If you are mostly looking for a general purpose zoom, then I wouldn't hesitate to go for the 70-300 L. But again, I'd consider the 70-200 f4 L IS too. In that comparison, the only relevant question is about focal length: do you really want/need the extra 100mm. I did, so that drove my decision.
Good luck!
