70-200 F4 L IS or 70-200 L non-IS ???

Keith,


Lets say you were rather wealthy and could make about $1250 over one summer after expenses were taken out.. would you be happy with the 70-200mm f/2.8 non IS?


Oh, you're primary use would be sports, but you enjoyed shooting anything.

I have the EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM and absolutely love it. The f/2.8 really helps with DOF and low light. As I've mentioned a lot, the IS saves me and my bad practices from camera shake quite a bit.


If you are rock solid as a shooter, maybe you can live without the IS, but it is noticeable.


There is nothing wrong with the f/4.0 if you shoot in bright light and don't need really shallow DOF.
