although IS would be handy in low light I often read that adding IS to a lens is a compromise on the IQ. Was one of the reasons given for why the 24-70L II didn't get it.
Maybe someone can offer more insight in to the truth behind that? Think I've read it's to do with the internal design that has to change by adding IS.

I have the 24mm and 35mm IS primes introduced last year and so far I am very happy with them. I use them for landscapes with 72 year old shaky hands and on a tripod (sometimes with the IS left on) and am getting better results than with my older non-IS versions or with my f/4 zooms. I'm very much looking forward to IS versions of my 50, 85 and 135mm Canon primes.
