It took me a long time to make up my mind (and free some green paper sheets), but it should be on it's way now, my 70-200 2.8 L (non IS).
Cant wait to try it out and show you the results.
Now, a grip and the 24-70 2.8 L should be next on my list.

I was in doubt a longggggggg time about buying the 100-400 or the 70-200 (I travel to Africa every few years for photo safari). I decided that I would more benefit from the 2.8 70-200 (low light). http://shutterstock.com/g/koekeloer

I even posted my first impressions on the lens: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=191527 "That building in the background is distracting."
