Anybody compare the two? I was going to pick up a 70-200 at some point, but found an 80-200 for a good deal. I may have to let my 135 go for now to get it though. Any help is appreciated.

I think most people would regard the 135L a step or two above the 80-200. The 80-200 is a well-regarded lens in general, I believe, but the 135 seems to be becoming a progressively less popular lens as the xx-200 line evolves. Meaning it was most popular at the time of the 80-200. 1D III 5D II 5D | 580 EX II x 2
