Save yourself a bundle right now and go with the 70-200 f/4. Take the leftover and get your flash equipment. While I was trying out a 30d at a skateboard competition, I used the aftorementioned 70-200 f/4 non-is and the on-camera flash. The lens was fast enough, light, excellent optics, and worked great with the onboard flash. This was shot at 1/250 f/4.
