It shows that the f4 has more contrast than 200 prime f2.8... at the same aperture which I think is weird.

I picked mine up this morning (woohoo!!), hope to have some fun with it today. Oh yea, I like your "duck", nice shot!! creamcorn wrote in post #2214014  Looks real sharp! Looks like the new IS might be a worthy upgrade...I want to get a new lens(I don't like saving money :rolleyes  , and was debating between 135mm 2.0 "L", 200mm 2.8 "L", 70-200mm 2.8, or 500mm FD "L"w/converter  etc....now you got me thinking f/4 IS. My only thing is, I have the 100-400mm, and don't like over lapping lenses especially expensive ones. I should just save for a 2.8 tankEven after your initial (and quite impressive) comment about the f/4 vs. f/2.8 you're STILL going to ask for help with lens selection?! Canon 5D Mark II

Hehe, yeah, I guess. What's the slowest you can shoot at WITH IS? Whatever telephoto for wild life I get will probably have IS, so I'm curious. I realise at 400mm or 300mm it's much harder to shoot at similiar shutter speeds as at 100 or 200mm, but at 200mm for example how slow can must of you go with is? I seem to have pretty steady hands as I was able to get a shot w/o blur at 1/6 sec with my 70-200 at 200mm handheld, but I think I might have just gotten lucky.
