The IS is a great combo with the MK3, I've used it with fantastic results in clarity, color, and bokeh. I would warn that it is noisy (audibly) and may be particularly unsuitable for video.

case and point with this shot. your shutter landed at 1/800 @ F/4. you were twice the shutter needed at 200mm to hand hold the shot for sharp results....IS made no difference in getting the shot at all. A 70-200 F/4 non IS would yield the same results. If you were inside and this landed at 1/100...then an IS lens would allow you to hand hold and get the shot

However, your ISO was at 100 ISO....you could easily raise the ISO to 1/1200-2000 and get the same results inside with out compromising image. 2000 ISO is very clean on a 5D3.

being aware of where your shutter is at and controlling ISO is the key to using a NON IS lens.

Shooting in TV mode, setting ISO on auto, setting shutter speed parameters to 1/500 puts the camera in a safe zone to capture images. Save the settings in C1 and you are set.

IS lens are great to have. But knowing the work arounds with your cameras, especially on these very clean sensor cameras will save you a lot of $$$ on your glass investments

TDP found the optics of the IS to be slightly better than the non-IS. So IS may not be needed for a certain shot, but you can always benefit from better optics although the difference sounds small.

There are some very interesting points being made here.
I use my camera almost 95% outdoors and generally in fairly good weather but the weather sealing does have its appeal as I guess it would help keep dust down too.
I am by no means good enough a photographer yet to probably notice the difference in sharpness between the lense's either.
