Hey, I am interested in shooting some of the sports at my college along with random wildlife and I want a longer lens for portraiture. With the fast shutter speeds for freezing action in sports and wildlife, is the IS feature really important or can I get away with the non-IS version? With the f/4L being really light compared to the f/2.8L, I feel like the "handholdability" of the lens would be very good. Basically, is the 70-200 f/4L a solid lens for the intended purposes or should I hold out for the 2.8L (which is so heavy I feel the IS version is almost needed) which would go take me from $600 to $1700. I like the range and i love quality things but I just dont htink i can justify spending the money on the 2.8L IS as a beginning hobbyist. Any thoughts are appreciated,
Nick
