Might be fast, but without IS it's still hard to handle... wait, child. Your day will come :-) My money is on the 70-200 2.8 IS. Yes, it's a tad slower, but it was worth every dollar spent. You sound like me... only I'm waitin for the 1Ds Mark III and then I'll have to fork over money for all new lenses, since the rumor seems to be firming up around the issue of a new lens mount... meaning everything in the gear bag cannot be sold as it has to be carried around with the original 1Ds that I planned on using as a backup.... (sigh). Anybody got a spare $30K lying around
somewhere?? :-)

Remember the mantra from Wayne - "It doesn't have IS, it doesn't have IS, it doesn't have...."
(well, you know the rest)

Whooa there a minute... I have not heard that the new 1Ds might need all new lenses??? Surely Canon would not do something that STUPID. No way in Hell would I spend the bucks on the camera PLUS a complete new set of lenses. That is asinine. If I had that kind of money I would buy a Hassellblad H3. It would be suicide for Canon to require new lenses with the new camera. At least provide an adaptor to allow all previous lenses to fit and work properly.
