My camera body is a Canon 5D Mark II. My kit is being designed for wedding photography. I love love LOVE the 5D Mark II.
I really wanted to get the 70-200 2.8 L II, but this lens that I have now is a more practical choice for first lens for shooting weddings. I'll get the 70-200 next. Probably as a Christmas gift for me or something.
I know me... if I get the f/4, I'll resist selling it when it comes time to get the 2.8. And I'll have to get the 2.8 because I need the light, and the II is reportedly the best in the series for those lenses. Being a bit of a perfectionist, I have to have the best thing for my goals, or I'm not happy. So I'll just "suffer" with what I have (lol!) until I get the other one.
Have had next to no chance to explore this new lens though... between all the other stuff I have to do. Perhaps tomorrow.
