I have a 70-200 f4.0 and I find a great performer for digital and film. You can always find some differences between this lens and the 2.8 but weight (and dow) but it really ranks signifficantly above most lens ( Ls and L primes excleded of couse...)
I use it some time with the Canon 1.4 extender (old one) and performs very nice. Personally I find the 70-200 f4.0L a must for a "mini trekker" I own it for this purpose and combine it with an other great favorite of mine, the EF 24-84, wich is quite good (not and L lens) but even shares the same filter size!!! go for it.

Hi all, I'm thinking about getting the 70-200f/4; a pearl of a lens, and I'm wondering if somebody would like to share experiences about using it (!! NOT the 2.8 version) with a teleconverter. Does it works with the Canon Teleconverter? Or you have to go with the Tamron? (any other good TC outthere?) It's for casual work and the odd long shot as I don't have often an use for a very long tele. (Maybe I'll get addicted to the 400mm focal length and start dreaming about a 400f/5.6 IS L :-) What about image quality? Still 'acceptable'? BTW, before anyone asks, I'm not getting the 70-200f/2.8 IS because it's big, heavy and much more expensive than the f/4 little brother (for about the same image quality). I want something that can live in my mini trekker instead of staying at home. (my 'mini' weights already 10Kg ...!) -greetings, Gerard. * **** * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
