So I have two similar lenses and can't figure out which to keep...
1. Canon EF 70-210mm 1:4 (heavy, loud, and slow)
2. Canon EF 55-200 1:4.5-5.6 USM II Ultrasonic (light, silent, and quick)
Alright... the obvious choice is to sell #1, and keep #2. But for some reason #2 just seems so light, crappy, and brittle. Is the glass the same between the two "era"s? Or have they been improving technology and cheaping out on quality? #2 is about half the weight and has the turn zoom instead of #1's straight pull out zoom.
What is the opinion of the experts? Any feedback?
(Thanks)
