Thinking of grabbing a used one ($800) and selling my 70-200 f4 non IS... It is amazing on FF. Just wide enough and has some capabilities on the long end. The more I use it the more I love using it. It is very versatile and the IS can help you out in a pinch. You can also call me Matt

I have one for use when I need it, but it stays off most of the time as it makes the camera so damned bulky and heavy. But I think you have the point on IS the wrong way around. With a heavy camera, properly held, it's EASIER to keep it steady than with a lighter one. don't like the feel of cameras without them, have a problem with my wrist trying to press the button in portrait mode. I was also thinking of the 24-105 walk around and travel lens. Still undecided FUJI XT5 + XT3 & a bunch of Fuji lenses, Mavic Air2 drone

Trying to decide if I should really go for the 2.8 version, I so rarely use the 70-200. And if I am rolling "normal" focal lengths I like to go wide open with a fifty... Jeez, there is way to many lenses to choose between. And gosh I got into the gear mode as soon as I stopped shooting, I have thought about selling every piece of my gear. Perhaps I should just quit **** and go out and shoot some awesome pics. Well, In my opinion, I wouldn't get the 2.8 version of the 70-200 if you don't use yours already and what are the perks of the 24-70? The 2.8? It feels like you should spend your money on a lens that is different then what you already have, or save the money! Nick S.|5D Classic|Nifty 50 |35L|
