But those long shots are making want to rethink and maybe look at the 135L. I have both a 24L and a 35L but with the killer IS on the 200 2L it is my favorite candid lens in dark rooms. I can consistently hand hold at 1/40th and even get things at 1/25 depending on how still the subject is. I could never get those shots with a 135L.

airfrogusmc I'm a chimper. There I said it... More info | If you spend some time with it and get to know it (the 85L) you will find its not as bad as reported by some. I never miss shots wit hit because it focuses to slow. Its just not a very forgiving lens wide open and most can't jsut pick it up and right away get great results when shooting wide open.
Not candids but still shot in relatively low light 35L
  200 2L

I disappear in the room because of working distance. I actually have more problems of being noticed with the 85L. Seriously!!!
