Better than the original 70-200 2.8 IS but not as good as the newer 70-200 2.8 IS II. Im afraid I have not used the non -IS before. yes i very rarely use it with a tripod and its great. the IS works very well.

Have you shot the 70-200 4L IS without a tripod? And if so how does it compare. Am interested to know as I would like to shoot whilst on the move. Wildlife/Travel photog. Also any idea on the 70-200 4L IS vs the 70-200 2.8L (Non IS)? Cheers. Hey Dan,

And that 100% crop pretty much just sold it too me! 1st time posting here but you have some fantastic photos - I can only hope to get somewhere close! Looking forward to seeing more of last winters stuff. The film trailers that are coming out look amazing!!

It was so heavy both in the pack and in use. The decided it for me and I went for the F4 version and I am so happy that I did. It may loose a stop, but it's tack sharp, even at F4 and so much more easy to carry in my travels. I use just two lenses when travelling this and the 24-105L. Dan,

Have you felt the IS is required as I would imagine much of your shooting is with high shutter speeds, or is it, the F4 IS reviews were so strong in comparison to the F4 non-is? Thanks!

I have heard that the 4 is sharper then the 2.8 but that link to the comparison test was pretty profound. At f4 and 200mm the difference is amazing! Congrats on a smart gear change, keep up the good work love your photos! WOW Dan! I have heard that the 4 is sharper then the 2.8 but that link to the comparison test was pretty profound.
