Read all this today, and some is really cool. I wonder why someone would want to buy a 70-200 f/4 if they can buy it faster at f/2.8... one of the joys of owning that lens (IS version) is its
speed in the field. I hand-hold it all the time and it never ceases to impress me.
Well, money comes to mind followed closely by size and weight......

I think the point of the thread was that the new f/4 IS costs more than the
f/2.8 non IS.

Tom,

That's not the way I read it when I saw (IS version) in Jane's post.........

Eveything has a high cost when new...... When I bought my 70-200 f/2.8 the IS version just came out. Seems like there was a $700 difference....... Maybe the difference was less but the non IS was, to me, significantly less than the new IS.......
