70-200 F4: do you really need IS?
Nov 8, 2009

I've had my eye on the 70-200 F4 for some time. The IS version would be wonderful, but it's almost double the price (here in Canada).

For those that have tried the non-IS version, any regrets? Do you feel that IS is necessary on this lens?

Thank you kindly.

YES! Longish 172mm length + 200mm f/4 = shaky images
