    Simply there is little in the price should I get the 70-200 f2.8l or the 70 – 200 f4 IS ….Both have almost equal pros and cons …I guess this question has been around a bit on these lenses due to the close price point but there has been no definite answer to be seen…all the info on DP review turns into a cat fight with everyone getting far to precious ….and I thought fly fishers were anal! ……oh and if I were able to justify the $ I would get the 70-200 f2.8l IS

    Thanks in advance

    What is your primary purpose for the lens?

    i had to make a similar decision a while back with the 24-70/2.8 and the 24-105/4 IS, i ended up picking the IS and i wouldn’t go back.

    As already noted it really will come down to how you anticipate using the lens. I think all Canon shooters should at some point seriously consider getting one of Canons four 70-200s. The question then becomes which one. I plan on adding one of them hopefully within the year and currently Im leaning towards the 70-200 f2.8 non is.

    As Eric noted I think the primary consideration is wether or not you anticipate using for stationary or action shots. Second to that Id add indoors/outdoors and finally whether or not theres any advantage/disadvantage to the

    100-400f5.6 L IS unless you plan on shooting indoor sports in which case go for a 70-200 f2.8
