I want to keep it near $700, Canon EF lenses only (may upgrade to FF and I like the build quality on EF lenses much better) I am dealing with apple autocorrect. Excuse my spelling/random words.

Sirrith Cream of the Crop More info | May 25, 2011 03:36 | #6 either the 70-200 f4 IS, or the sigma 70-200 2.8 OS. They're around the same price, depends whether you want a faster aperture or a lighter lens -Tom

If you can swing it, try to get the IS version. Extremely effective (4th gen., 4-stop) IS, and the optical design is updated slightly, not to mention full weather sealing.

Maybe if the price went down. I am dealing with apple autocorrect. Excuse my spelling/random words.
