Just looking at this Gerry due to suddenly realising that I need a very good quality mid-range zoom. If I do go for a 70-200 L, I will probably go for the f/2.8 (I like a bit more weight) and I think the extra couple of stops will be an advantage in dusk light (when I like taking pictures). The questions that I have for you are;
1. Do you think it would be necessary for me to get the IS version for a significant difference in shutter speed?
2. Will it be suitable for portraits and more importantly most things other than macro and ultra telephoto? The range isn't really dedicated so it makes a good all rounder I would imagine.
Sorry to be vague in my questioning but I am only just starting to research the lens. I don't think I need to ask about the image quality though as I'm aware that it is stunning.
Thanks!
Nick
