Canon L Series Lens
Canon users: What was your first L-series lens?

The 70-200 mm f 4 lens.

Light, exceptionally well made. Focusing and zoom rings were butterly smooth. Focused without a sound. It doesn’t rotate during focusing or zooming. Sharp and contrasty photos.

—————–

I don’t know what I was thinking–the first L lens was (and still is) the 24-70 mm f 2.8. It truly is a walk around lens (it was for Canon 5D). Very sharp and contrasty. It’s a strange lens–it gets longer at shorter focal length. The hood for it works perfectly well for that.

Canon ( 70 – 200 L 2.8 ) verses ( Canon 70 – 200 L 2.8 IS ) IS means Image Stableizer is it worth the extra $$$$’s

I don’t think anyone here can sway you one way or the other. You probably already know all the pros and cons, and in the end it’s a personal decision. Just to sum things up:
* The IS version is $560 / 49% more expensive ($1700 vs. $1140 at B&H for the non-import versions.)
* The IS version is heavier (3.2 lb vs. 2.8 lb.)
* The IS version is slightly soft at f/2.8, but otherwise there’s nothing to chose from in terms of image quality.
* IS is of very limited value if you’re going to use a tripod anyway, or if your shutter time is smaller than the reciprocal (say, 1/300th on a dSLR).
Now… when Canon introduced the 17-55mm with IS, I thought they were joking. Even with a 1.6 focal length multiplier, who needs IS for that range?! But at 200mm (or effectively as much as 320mm), IS becomes a valuable asset… and for me, it fully justifies the extra price.
Just to add to your confusion, have you also considered the new (so new you can only pre-order it at this point) Canon 70-200mm f/4 L IS, for $1250?
