As the title says, which 70-200mm canon compatible lens will be best for night skiing photography? I will be shooting at 6fps and panning to follow the skiers. I will not be using any flashes or extra lighting.
The slopes are fairly well lit for a ski slope, but I will still need a fast shutter. I really do not want to spend much over $1000, so unless I find some incredible deal, the 2.8 IS is out. I am not too concerned about the size difference between the 2.8 and 4 as long as the extra size can be justified with the extra stop. Would I benefit more from the IS or from the extra stop? I could easily stick it on a monopod without much inconvenience and I very well may to make panning easier. I am not committed to Canon but will need a good reason to consider something else. I will be using a canon 40d.
Thanks
