If I were you I would get the 70-200 f4 IS. It is lighter and cheaper and also a pro lens.


70-200 2.8 IS is an excellent lens for portrait but it is so heavy as compared to other 70-200 FL. The MKII is coming out and MKI still have same price which might be increased (?).


Besides I have also heard that Canon body will give you good results (not the lenses) whereas Nikon is vice versa.
