I have a 70-200 f/2.8L IS on the way. I'll probably have it tomorrow (when I use B&H and choose standard ground shipping, I get my packages the next day!)... Tommy

It's just that I like to take a lot of low light shots where shutter speed goes down to around 1/100th or so. At SS of 1/100th, I get a lot of camera shake and have a hard time getting a sharp image. So I've been wanting IS for quite some time, but Sigma doesn't offer it. Tommy

More info | Jul 12, 2006 13:11 | #8 You are going to be impressed with two things tomorrow. First, you will be able to get decent hand held shake-free images thanks to the IS. Second, you can't help but be impressed with the shear imposing bulk of the lens once you mount it. I love mine dearly, but it is a bit of a beast. Can a 24-105 IS be far behind? L's just seem to multiply. People that know me call me Dan

I've been able to handhold my 24-105 down to 1/3 ~ 1/5 sec. with sharp results. Kinda makes me wanna move up from the 70-200 f/4L to the f/2.8L IS.
