After owning both the 70-200 f/4 ii and the 70-200 f/2.8 IS, I finally decided to sell my f/2.8. Mostly due to it's weight, it hasn't left the House for a gig, let alone my bag in quite a long time. Here's a review a made the other Month, just before I decided to sell the lens (Putting my...

Looking for some input on the Canon 16-35 f/2.8 mk.2 VS 16-35 f/4 IS. I need a wide angle lens for my C300 in Documentary situations Would the faster lens or the IS lens be more suited, or do the cancel out? Doesn't look like there is much of a used price difference (couple hundred USD)
