Ok, I know I am going to get many posts on going back on my lens philosophy. I vowed never to buy a lens slower than f/2.8. That changed today. BUT let me explain further.
Well I am taking the family to the "Mouse House" for the Christmas season and wanted to add a lens to my 24-70. Well, my rationale is that dragging 2 kids all over the enchanted kingdom, I need to lighten my load and go minimalistic. I went to the shop today and this strange voice was calling me. YEP, the 70-200 f/4 IS. This thing can damn near fit in my pocket yet has great focal length and IS. So my 5D with out grip, 24-70, 70-200 f/4 IS and batteries will be in Mickey's face allowing me to focus on documenting the experience and enjoying myself and my kids company.
SO... Call me a hypocrite or getting wiser. BUT REST ASSURED, after this trip, there will be a very well cared for 70-200 f/4 IS going up on the marketplace. As many that have bought my "cast off lenses" (and i miss them all, except the 50 1.8), this lens was hand picked for sharpness. It is Razor. Heck it should be, its an L.
If people are interested I'll make up a mini review with pics.
