A 70-200mm f/4, you don't need a 2.8 for fast action in daylight. If you can't get close enough to use 200mm, you'll need a long prime probably... 500D | 11-16 2.8 | 17-55 2.8 IS | 35 1.4 L | 135 2.0 L | 200 2.8 L II

Well, actually, I don't really know about that. Hah, anyone have any personal being-drunk-and-taking-pictures experiences?
