I am interested in purchasing a nice Canon lens and from what I have found the Canon 70-200 would work great for my needs.
My question is if there is a huge difference between the 70-200mm f/4L IS USM & 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM?
I realize that the F stop is different but curious to know if the auto focus is slower on the f/4 or anything else that might be comparable?
The price difference is huge between the two and if the only difference is the Aperture then I believe the f/4L would be just fine.
On the other hand I realize that photography can be like reef keeping, purchasing the proper equipment the fist time will save a lot of money in the long run.
If anyone has or has used this lens any advise would be appreciated.
The other question would be if there is another name brand that has the same lens and quality of the Canon 70-200?
