HOLY COW is it sharp! IS seems to be really nice too. All in all I almost took one home to become the mate of my other zoom, the 24-70 to be my travel pair. Dante

I havent really seen which one would suit me best yet. I guess ill have to rent the 2.8 and treat it like an f/4 to see if it would relly suit my needs.

Ive used a Siggy 70-200 f/2.8, but I dont recall using it in lower light....but then again, ive never owned an IS lens either. Damnit I hate decisions like this. When you live in the uk you always get low light lol.

I really think, if you are in the market for the 70-200, you should check out this lens. Alas it is F4. I dont do F4, but yesterday, I was going to, but then wondered how I would own up to you all, so I passed. Dante
