[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 377031, member: 29446"] the 70-200 there is an L lens with a constant aperture of 2.8. I'm getting into concert photography and it's going to be a big help as most say the IS is equal to 2-3 steps. As of now, even with 1600 and 3200 ISO, I'm lucky to get speeds faster than 1/60th with the horrible light I'm working with. Fortunately though, the larger venues have a lot better lighting, so that's my next goal. Plus every one says it's great for street photography. I live close enough to DC and Baltimore that I can go down for a day and shoot for how ever long I want...just got to get the time to do it. What do you shoot that makes it so bad? A faster shutter speed should take care of shake. If I recall though, a lot of people complain about the Canon 75-300. I think that's the one. They say it's extremely soft and not really up to par with the rest of the quality stuff Canon puts out...but unless you want to spend an arm and a leg...I do hear that Sigma has some quality telephoto lenses with some sort of IS device in them.
