70-200 2.8 IS - Any Weakness

Sep 11, 2005

I'm debating between getting the 70-200 2.8 IS or three primes, 200 2.8, 135 2.0, and either the 85 1.2 or 1.8. My main concern on the 70-200 if it is soft anywhere on the range from 70-200.

Also, other than speed, id the 85 1.2 that much better than the 1.8.
