I got a 70-200 F4L non IS!!! I spent ALL of my Christmas money on it, and now I am broke again, but very happy. I only had about 600 dollars, and I got it, and I am thrilled. I would get a 2.8 if I had the money. Keep in mind I am only 16, and I have only been doing this for maybe 6 months.

..youll love it
Enjoy.
