Re: 55 Reasons to Buy and Love This Lens

I am very interested in this lens, but just have a few reasons for hesitation: 1) I have the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II... would I notice much of a difference (image-quality wise) between the two? Don't really care about weight / size difference.  If I can get shallower depth of field, then that would be a plus.  2) Lack of IS. For outdoor daytime shooting, not a big deal, but I shoot lots of weddings and indoor events. Might be OK if I can get by with 1/160 sec, but if I have to use 1/250 or faster, then that kind of defeats the value of the better light gathering with f/2.

Hoping the image quality is significantly different, and that I could shoot at ~1/160 without shake blur (I don't have perfectly stable technique).  What do you think?
