Hi all,

I'm in a big dilemma for choosing my telephoto lens. For weddings, I usually rent the 70-200 f2.8 IS version II. However, I would want to buy a lens in stead of renting it.
- I already took the decision of choosing a zoom lens for flexibility at a wedding
- The 70-200 f2.8 IS II is too expensive for me
- I like the look of small DOF, so 2.8 it has to be

Which leaves me with the choice between the 70-200 f2.8 non IS or the 70-200 f2.8 IS version I.
In my country, the non IS costs new 1080 EUR, while the IS version 1 costs 2nd hand approx 1300 EUR.
When checking the ISO 12233 charts here, the IS version 1 seems to be beter at corner sharpness, while in general the non-IS is sharper in the center and wide-open at f2.8...

It seems like in a studio setting one is a bit better than the other on on aspect, while on another aspect the other lens is better.
Therefore my question which lens of these do you guys and girls think would fit my needs best?

Big big thank you for reading and responding!

Regards, Dennis
