The 50 1/8 is a real inexpensive lens. That would be the first one I would probably get. I have it and it is a super sharp lens. I went with the 70-200 F4 lens too. Mine doesn't have the IS but I got one hell of a deal on it and am very happy with the pics from it. It is a razor sharp lens. Canon 7D,Canon 5D, Canon 40D, Canon Rebel XT, Canon 85 1.8, Canon 50 1.4 Canon 100-400 mm L, Canon 70-200 F4 L, Canon 17-40 F4 L, Canon 24-70 F2.8, Canon 100 Macro 2.8, Speedlite 430EX (X 2), Elinchrom D-Lite 4 set to go

If wanting to do macro, then go that route. If not, then how important is the extra stop of the 100mm. Would you like to buy a vowel?

You might feel that extra money is not worth the IS since it may not be noticeable once you are very close to your subject. The savings could go towards the 70-200 "It doesn't matter what camera you have if your photography has nothing worthwhile to say"

Jun 26, 2010 13:17 | #10 Im just thinking of the IS, with my not so steady hands sometimes, otherwise id probably just by the non L version. But i use it mostly for walkabout stuff too, and im thinking of something that is a bit of an all rounder... the L seems to be just that. Gear List ●●flickr
