Hi guys
I'm going to purchase a 70-200 lens that I will use for video work. IS is a must, but I don't really need F/2.8 and the extra weight. However it's been mentioned several places on the net that the IS motor in the 70-200mm F/4 IS USM is very noisy. I will be having a shotgun mic mounted on the camera, and I'm worried that it will pick up the IS motor noise.
Anyone here who have experience with the 70-200mm F/4L IS USM in regards to camera mounted microphones and the IS noise? Is it so bad that I'll have to suck it up and get the 2.8 Mk II version?
