Not any closer to making decisions on lenses yet .. Refer previous post "What would you but (its a long one ). Yesterday.
But have a couple of questions that some of you would know.
How important is "Image Stability " in a lens.
Canon has a good 70-200mm f4 USM L series lens. Its and L lens but does not have IS its about half the price of the IS version of same L lens.
around $600 for no IS ...$1200 with IS
Iam new to dslrs (in fact havnt bought one yet) so help me here ...1st can you hand hold and shoot with a lens of this focal range or does it really need a tripod anyway , I have heard that IS saves a couple of f stops. If the lens is on a tripod does IS help at all.
