The canon 70-200 f/4 L IS was the first L lens I purchased, way back in the day when I was still using a rebel camera. The build quality and image quality were great, the lens is nicely compact and not too heavy, and has been workhorse for me in the ~10 years I have owned it. I still use it regularly for everything from portraiture with strobes, to landscape (specially when backpacking/ backcountry camping).

The non-IS that you are considering is every bit as good as the one I have, except for the lack of stabilization. If you think you can get away without the IS (keep a high enough shutter speed at 200mm), you won't be disappointed in the quality of the lens.
