Next investment.. thoughts?

Hey guys,

Thinking of buying the 70-200 f/4 L today. It's new for rougly $790 (converted from SEK)
As always i been reading and watching every review i can find and also seen photos from you users.
The lack of IS doesent bother me (been shooting with primes for a year) nor does the constant f/4.

I'm after buildquality, sharpness, fast AF and a good focalrange for a decent price.

Good choice?

If you can spend the extra money get the IS version as I have heard it is definitely a notch above the non IS in terms of image quality but you really wont go wrong with either one. Not knowing what you shoot I cant really recommend it but I love my non IS. Very sharp at f/4, produces great bokeh, great build, fast AF.

All in all it is a great lens.

You mentioned that the price converted from SEK is $790, however in the US you can get this lens for roughly $674 (like at amazon, for example). So I wonder if you can get a slightly lower price on the deal? That's almost $100 difference even if you take into account the variation in exchange rates, so it might be worth looking into before jumping in I do not personally own this lens so I cannot really recommend or dissuade anyone, but having used this lens during a friend's photoshoot I can attest to the focal range and sharpness. Oh and the build quality is nothing to sneeze at either!

Thanks for the reply guys.
im using it to shoot outdoor sport and portrait.

The price i listed above is the cheapest you can get it in any store here in Sweden.

For sports and portraits the lens will shine!

This is my next lens! And I have a 2.8 Mk II, the F4 is awesome. I love it, the build, weight and IQ is outstanding.

Very good choice!
