Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a mid tele zoom, and am pretty much set on Canon's 70-200 2.8, the only thing I'm unsure of is whether IS is actually worth another £400 or so.
I've used the 200 2.8 L prime before now a fair bit, and didn't find not having any kind of IS a problem, but would I be likely to want it on the heavier, larger zoom?
Does anyone have experience with both, or is it worth hiring both for a weekend to see how I get on with them?
The other alternative, though not a zoom, is the 135 f2L, 200 f2.8L and my existing 85 1.8 for a similar price as the IS zoom.
Who's been in a similar quandary and what did you do to resolve it?
Cheers.
