or
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM L IS
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 USM L IS

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM L IS
Photography canon pro/amatures... Which lens would you go for?

The 2.8 IS if the funds allow but at £1,200 it's a lot of money and you will obviously need to try before you buy.
To throw a spanner in the works have you considered the 70-200 f2.8 non-IS?

f/2.8 for me, but it is expensive. I'd rent one for a day or two to make sure it was worth it. Do you have a Calumet nearby?

Hi, is there a major difference without the "IS"? I'm worried that my shots will just come out jerky with out a tripod, especially long range.
Thanks, Jo

I'm a pro photographer, I am a member of the NUJ, and my recent work includes such variety as the New York Times, and Big Brother....
SERIOUSLY consider the Sigma 70-200 F2.8
Its 95% as good as the non IS Canon L and a huge amount less money.
I have kit that would be scoffed at by some amatuers I expect, as I run all sigma lenses, however the fact remains, I get paid for my stuff, so the kit can't be all bad, it IS about your skill, not about whos got the biggest whitest lens.
