Just pressed the button on a 70-200mm F4L IS and Tamrac Velocity 8x bag. Hopefully B&H will ship today and I will have it on Thursday.

Guess it is time to put the 70-200mm F4L non IS up for sale.

:D

So how often will you track it each day? :lol: Enjoy, you will dig the lens very much (and the bag, I'm sure).

I will be traveling out of town until Thursday anyway, but I am sure I will track it every chance I get (Sprint broadband cards are wonderful things!!!).

Congratulations on your new purchase. I think your in the worst part of the experience. The forbidden wait! I hate the wait. I find myself wondering...."what if I miss the UPS man. Crap!"

I always have it shipped to my office so someone will be there. Man I can't wait. I know how much I love my non IS version so the IS version should be awesome!!

I am wondering if I should have bought the $40 3- years warranty with this lens? Never had IS before so I wonder what the failure rate of the IS system is, especially after the first year.
