Yeah I didn't need the IS due to me shooting WRC Pictures -Though do like the idea of the F2.8 but I'm not at that level to see much difference

I wouldn't get the 2.8 because of the increase in size and weight (oh, and the slight increase in price
), but the IS/non-IS toss up is a bigger head scratcher.I wouldn't get the 2.8 because of the increase in size and weight (oh, and the slight increase in price
It is! I'm looking purchase the 70-200 f/4 L but i dont know if i want IS. Apparently it allows you to shoot 4 stops lower, thing is I want IS but not USM :/
The 70-200mm IS offers more than just IS, it's a totally different optical design than the non-IS, making it sharper and has weather sealing too. It was the sharpest 70-200mm you could buy before Canon released the 2.8II.
I own one, it's great. I was weighing up between it and the 2.8 non-IS at the time as they're similar money.
*Edit* SeraphX - 17-50mm f/2.8

I took delivery of this today
initial impressions..... build quality is very good and it fits perfectly into the tripod carry attachment on my slingshot 302

After a long search I've finally tracked down one of these in the states:
Should be with me in a week or two now. I almost bought a vanilla CWD instead but the back in the CWD 'kit' is old tech now and I'll grab a second hand Phase back sometime instead. Besides it's yellow (and exceptionally rare).
I'm curious now as to whether anybody here will appreciate the beauty of this thing...

Cost more than a D800...

That looks ace! I'd have that set up on a tripod even when not in use

Well you've got to love a 'blad, but I'll be honest I'm not sold on the yellow!
Soldato
So much for being conspicuous
Did they actually come in yellow or is it a modification? Oh, and you can't accuse us of not appreciating the beauty of it while you're talking about dirtying such majesty by converting it to digital!

:O Need MOAR photos please, this is looking to be my next purchase (and my first L lens)
What body are you using it on? Is it quite a petité lens? Certainly looked that way in the Jessops display.
Hi all, just getting back into photography, have a Sony a200 with kit lens 18mm - 70mm. Just bought a cheapie grip for it. I'll get a picture of it for a later post but I have to say I'm now loving my camera with the grip (never liked using it before). Also looking into a flash too, nothing special, just want something better than the built in flash.
