I think I love the 400 f/2.8 more than any of them, and I don't even have one
Jon,
Fewreasons. First is, it doesn't really help in the photography I do 90% of time time: action and sports, primarly outside, or inside with a flash. Second reason, kills battery life. Third reason, its not as big as a lifesaver as the catalogs say, shake is overemphanized in the ads. Ive shot Minolta/Sony, Canon and Nikon IS and haven't noticed a difference betwene them. Lastly, I one of those lucky SOBs who can hand hold a camera well into hail mary speeds and still take a sharp shot. If I'm without a tripod or mono pod, I have a couple of tricks and can usually find some kind of support.
Hate is a strong word, the type of photography I do is usually too fast or with a lot light so IS is NOT needed. I don't need it, doesn't mean that I hate it. I really thinkg IS is a great innovation in modern photography.
Anyways my favorite 3
70-200 f/2.8 L IS
400 f/5.6L
500 f/4 L IS
Edit: added "NOT"
