Any reason on keeping both? I'm becoming sentimental to my f/4 IS. I have to let it go....I know but was wondering if anyone here actually have both and the justification on keeping both?

Jun 23, 2008 06:37 | #6 Yes, putting the f/4 IS and f/2.8 IS side by side, the weight is definitely there....bulk as well. I just don't want to keep a lens because I would have more options as to the situations I may be in that would allow me to use my f/4 IS. From what I can tell, I would come across these situations probably 10% of the time...which is probably not enough justification. Canon EOS 40D | EOS Rebel XTI/400D | G9
