My collapsable cabinet fell on the camera bag and since it's the longest lens I have it absorbed the fall.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Ask yourself, since you have been shooting 70-200 f4 for awhile. Do you need f2.8 or f4 better? Of course, you have to put price aside as everyone here know the f2.8 is expensive. Derrick

For the difference, unless I really needed the f/2.8 for action I'd rather get the f/4 and a second newer lens. Looking at your lineup, perhaps another prime, maybe upgrading your 50mm.
