I don't know how many of these kinds of threads I've been through beginning to end, but this one has the sharpest pictures by far. I hate this place, you guys hate my wallet. =)

I was going to get the 70-200 f2.8 IS for weddings, but now I'm thinking this one.... any thoughts? Objections? Agreements?

(I realize the difference in range, I have the 70-200 f4; I'm looking for really good IQ and also low light performance at receptions)


2x5D/grip; 24-70 f/2.8L, 85 f/1.2L II, 70-200 f/2.8 ISL, 70-200 f/4L, 15 fisheye, 28-200, Sigma 105 Macro, lensbaby 2.0; 580EXII, 580EX, 550EX

Objections.
What body do you have, if crop 1.6 go with 17-55 or 24-70 or even 70-200 f2.8.
if full body or 1.3 then again go with 24-70 or 70-200 f2.8, or 50 1.4 if so, i know this lens is amazing but you will use your feet a lot in weddings if you use 135L.

Thanks Tareq - I have a 5D and will get another one. Guess this is the wrong thread for this, though...
