With 70-200mm f4 USM, Do I need a 85mm f1.8?

David,

 

Thanks for the advice on getting horizons straight, but they were all "out of the camera shots" converted to jpg, and do not

represent a final product. My intention was to highlight overal lens performance, and not user performance :).

 

Faysal,

 

The puppy pics were taken with a 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens handheld at 1/60 sec, 200 mm, wide open, ISO 400, And illustrate

the bokeh at f/2.8, and how well the IS system works for nailing sharp shots at shutter speeds well below those considered

practical without IS. By the way, you will love your f/4 lens. You lose a stop of DOF to play with compared to the f/2.8

version, but it is much lighter, and is an outstanding optical performer.
