Hello John,
Sorry for the delay in responding as I wasn't getting any messages for a
couple of days - seems I wasn't alone. I have a couple of primes on hand to
try as well as a 70-200/2.8 L so I'm lucky enough to be able to try them out
before buying. Thanks for your input.
Cheers,
Ian

The 28-70/2.8 L, 70-200/2.8 L, and the 70-200/4 L deliver results comparable
to prime lenses in terms of sharpness and contrast. The advantage the primes
have are lighter weight and less distortion. Also, most camera bags aren't
designed with the pro bodies and zooms in mind.
