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"
Nate,
Do ever take a photo of anything closer than 30ft? LOL!
Right now.......my fav three even though the 28-75 f2.8L is on my camera most of the time.
1) 70-200 f2.8L
2) 17-35 f2.8L
3) EF 100 f2.8 Macro
Chuck
1) Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS
2) Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS
3) Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 or Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS (I'd hate to be without either of them!)
My favorite lens so far is the 24-105 f4 IS L. It's a fantastic walkabout lens for everyday needs. I also use it for wide angle shots.
70-200 f 2.8 IS for the longer reach. I'm waiting with my purchase though until August - maybe there is indeed a new version coming.
85 f 1.2 II L... My ideal portrait lens. I love it.
Why not crop top 3 ?
Mine:
17-55mm 2.8
55-250mm 4-5.6
60mm
