Hi!


I'm new to this board. I'm a newbie, just got a 40D with the kit 28-135 lens. Got the 50mm f/1.8 a few weeks ago, and now looking to get something with longer reach.


I like the long range of the 18-200, but I know the 70-200 L f/4 is awesome.


What specifically is better about the 70-400 L? I would think the f/3.5 of the 18-200mm is "faster", right?


I'm basically taking pix of friends at softball games, and doing traveling: Hawaii, Europe...


Thanks in advance!


Mike
