I am trying to acquire only those lenses that are integral for a good semi-professional wedding/portrait photographer. I have about $700, and thinking about buying Canon 50mm 1.8 + 70-200mm f/4 L = $700.
I know 2.8 L is the best out there, but I can not afford it. Saving-up is not an option in the forseeable future.
I can afford the f/4, but don't want to regret buying it.
My questions are:
1. How much of a difference is there b/w these two? How much more useful is 2.8 over 4?
2. I will also have to get the non IS version f/4. Does this make the lens pretty much useless?
3. Are there any other L lenses out there that are $600 and better than the 70-200 f4 L? (By "better", I mean the general lens quality for someone building-up their photo equipment collection).
Thank you.
