It's simply a superior lens.


f/4 is a deal breaker for some..

IS is way better if you look some lab samples without any post processing, but if you do post processing and dont make 50x50 inch prints, you wont see much difference

I believe most ppl who went for the f4 IS is because it's much lighter and of course cheaper otherwise no one would say no to one more stop of light :p

...and it is weather sealed with a UV filter and it is the sharpest 70 - 200.

yeah yeah the 70-200 f4L IS is also weather sealed and it is pretty close to the f2.8 II when it comes to sharpness :p

I have the 70-200 L IS 4.0 one, I love it... but it just doesn't cut it for what I tried it out on:

Why on earth did I even TRYYYY to take pictures, I don't know... but this is what happens when you do.

Indoor soccer

Iso 1600 (as high as my camera would go, perhaps if you had a better iso performance camera, it could work for you)
f 4.0

The results are horrifying, but I had to try it out anyway :D


:blush:














So what am I saying? I'm saying if you are doing any kind of indoor sports, I advise spending the extra grand on the lower F stop!

One extra stop wouldn't of made the difference, you would need 2 stops minimum (for stopping action and giving a correct exposure)

If you were shooting indoor sports you need a camera that will comfortably sit at 3200iso plus the extra stop on the lens (7d, 1dm4, d700, d3s)

If you are panning side ways to follow action, switch your IS mode to 2.

I knew there was some part where I didn't do it right :lol:

That's good to know. I definitely need to upgrade my camera body in that sense. I have peeked at the 7D a while back - one of these days!
