I like my 200 f/2.8 on 5D2 for resolution and handling. I've been tempted by the 70-200 f/2.8 IS for convenience, but the length, weight and price are not so nice. Then again, I keep a 100 f/2 in the holster in case the 200 is too long. If you add the weights of the 100 and 200, you are approaching the weight of the 70-200. Sometimes I think trading the 100 and 200 for the 135 f/2 would be a nice trade off. Bottom line: the 200 is a great lens for a great price, since it probably get overlooked by the much more popular 135.
