I'm headed to Italy for a few weeks and I want to bring along a telephoto lens. Specifically, I'll be in Venice, the Cinque Terre, Florence, and Rome.
I'm torn between which of these two lens I should choose. On one hand, the extra reach of the 100-400 could come in really handy, and I know it would be useful for long-distance canal shots in Venice, as well as close up architecture shots in Rome.
On the other hand, the 70-200 provides more light.
Since the size of both lenses is roughly equal, it's not really an issue.
Can you all help me make up my mind: What would your choice be, and why?
