Looking for 70-200mm f2.8 lens

Well with the f/4 flavor of the 70-200mm I would opt for the IS model. Just a little added confidence with the slower lens. Plus it would still be cheaper than the faster f/2.8 models.

One word for you, TRIPOD. You wouldn't want to use a 200mm lens even with IS on a sub frame camera for video unless you were securely mounted to a tripod.

What? Please explain why you WOULDN'T want to go handheld/shoulder mounted at a 200mm focal length???? The aesthetic is incredible and gritty. It only takes practiced to achieve a hypnotic drift that isn't too jittery or jarring.

I've spent the last two days with a 180/2.8 Zeiss Nikon Handheld on both the 7D and 5D. No IS. No Issue. An IS lens would be even better for telephoto handheld acquisition. Muy Bonito.
 
I would take the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 over the Sigma ANYDAY. Better optical quality and better finish, IMO. The Tamron rivals the Nikon equivalent in terms of sharpness...for $600. (not sure how it compares to Canons, haven't used it)
