<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; font-size: 9pt;"]I'm looking forward to buy a 70-200 range lens.

<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="color: #000000;"]I've been stuck with the same dilemma for a while and because of a lack of funds I'm 90% sure I'll eventually go with the200mm f/2.8 L II USM prime. It's a 2.8 and is relatively small, light and inexpensive. I know it's not a zoom but I think it's worth considering.

<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"]Agreed, while I'm fairly new toserious photographyI've had similar experiences with tools of all sorts. (Yes, I think of photography equipment as tools.) It's especially true of rifle scopes,a tool (not to mention another type of optics)I've got quite a bit of experience with. Fixed power (as opposed to varible power)scopes (the equivalant of a prime lens if you will)are renouned for their clarity and high light transmition. I have to believe the same wound be true, at least to some extent,of a prime lense as opposed to a zoom.
<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"]I also believeI'd have uses for a 200mm f/2.8 L II USMevenif I later managed to get my hands on a70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM.
