I read so much about the 70 200L IS 2.8 I had to have one. So I sold my 70 200L IS f/4.0 and 85 f/1.8 to finance it. Hope I made the right move. :D:D:D

Love mine big time. It's a bit heavy but can do great things.


A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought.

When I bought the f4 IS, it was with the idea that it was just to hold me over until I can afford the rest of the $$ to go towards a 2.8 IS. Then a friend bought his 2.8 IS, and I got to play with it quite a bit. Now the 2.8 IS is no longer in my my plans, and I seem to be drawn towards a 100-400, a 150-500 or a 300 f4 IS... or a 10-22

I just did the exact same thing- sold the 70-200 f4 L IS and 85mm f1.8 and bought the 70-200 f2.8 L IS. It is bigger/heavier, seems to be as sharp even wide open, and a full stop faster. I'm happy with the decision since I'm doing some weddings, portraits, and stage events, the extra speed will be necessary.
