I was gonna get myself a 70-200 F4L, till I stumbled across the new 70-300 IS. Wondering which of the lenses should I get..
Telephoto
1) EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM
2) EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM
Questions
a) are everyday images from 70-300 ok?
b) What is lacking in images produced when compared to the 70-200, NOT fixable in photoshop? (NVM colour/contrast)
c) is the difference that big?
Raving reviews I've read of the 70-300 point to the fact that the 3rd gen IS works beautifully on the 70-300. Both are relatively slow lenses, but with IS on, at say 200mm would one get more keepers indoor?
Is the 70-300 suitable for portraits? It seems that both the lenses have got 8 aperture blades, so am I right to assume bokeh is going to be similar?
Anyone with the 70-300IS can give any comments?
