OK folks here is my dilema,
I have a Canon EF 70-200 f/4L and love the lense, but as you can imagine in less than great light and slow shutter speeds hand held is a forget it, however I have found a mono-pod helps my cause without too much hassle.
I also use a 24-104 f/4L IS and have to say I'm liking the IS on there, saved many a shot for me.
But now I have reached a point of should I / shouldn't I with the 70-200. I am considering replacing it with either the f4 IS version or 2.8 non-IS (can't justify the 2.8 IS price). 2.8 I have heard can get heavy real fast, but the f4 with IS would weigh less and maybe give me back those slower stops. Opinions on this please...?
And just to throw in the mix, is it even worth me considering replacing the f4? My local shop has offered a horrible trade in price for it so is the expense of the other lenses gonna give me something I can say "yeah thats where the money went" or just stay as I am and get used to the mono-pod? Gonna be used on a 30D b.t.w.
Many thanks for any advice, comments, slaps in the face
