Tony, you've had it for how many days and not tested it? I'd taken it right out of the box and would have gone out the door.

I use a mono-pod a lot when shooting sports and my daughters drill team and it is incredibly sharp. For weddings, I wish I had IS but I still manage to get the shots I want so I'm not conviced, yet, to upgrade.

Please go to this link that has the 70-200 Poll. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

wiselion Senior Member  621 posts Joined Feb 2005 Location: Albany,NY More info | Jun 24, 2006 22:38 | #25 I think my 70-200 f/4 is just amazing. It is razor sharp, and never lets me down. Some of the sharpest pictures I have seen on this forum have been from this lens. I think it takes just as sharp pictures as the 500L IS. When I get my 300L IS I will be interested to see how those pictures compare. Not bad for a sub $600.00 lense.

StarFinder Member  228 posts Joined Jul 2005 More info | I was originally going to start with the 70-200mm f/4L and eventually work my way to the f/2.8 version, however in the end I held off on buying the f/4 and used my earnings from an artshow for the f/2.8 instead. The IS version was a bit out of my budget, but I don't have any complaints with the non-IS one I have, infact it's become my general 'walkaround' lens now. 5D Mark II, Elan 7Ne, Nikon N4004, Mamiya RB67 Pro S
