Great episode.
IS is fantastic but kind of pointless below 70mm.
For handholding in poor light, it helps but not enough in winter.
I paid for the f/4 ‘L’ 70-200 with IS after much deliberation.
And to protect my investment, a very good UV filter. The
lens hood will provide much protection but takes longer
to mount whereas a UV filter does not require any thought.
If you are outside in winter, the 2.8 option makes a lot of sense.
HOWEVER, if I was shooting hockey I would opt for the 200mm
option for a couple of reasons: most of the time I shoot my 70-200
at 200mm anyway, and the 200mm is BLACK (white lenses act
like tripods in terms of being magnets and may be refused admission
at some venues where the 200mm will slide by).
