Interesting results with the 70-200 Non IS lens. The IS version and the f4 version were very close in resolution.

Nothing new... Such a miniscule difference as to not be worth worrying over. Besides, I'd never give up IS on this lens, it's great.

i can handheld @200mm and 1/60 so i have no problem, i think the weight of the 2.8IS would def be a problem.
