UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

My son has recently become interested in photography and started to put together his equipment list.
He bought a 5DMkII used but now he wants a telephoto. He asked me to make a recommendation between
a new 70-200 f4.0 L and a used 70-200 f2.8L (not the version II). He looked at the f2.8 and it looks brand
new or at least seldom used and both are priced about the same at $1100. He wants it primarily for youth
soccer games, usually played outside in California sunshine. I advised him to get the new f4.0 because he
didn't need the speed and it was considerably lighter for outdoor non-tripod use. Any comments?
