I want to buy a Canon 70-200mm f/4 L IS lens in great condition. I already have an immaculate 70-200mm f2.8 L without the image stabilizer but as I age I want to exchange for the smaller, lighter lens. Previously I didn't need IS shooting my son's night-time soccer games at high shutter speed but did need the f/2.8 for lower light. Now his college team plays only in daylight so perhaps I can get by using an f/4 L IS and also use it for general walk-around.

I sometimes use an ef 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM and it could be a complimentary lens to the L glass you already have. BH has the lens for $399 or $499 for the -II. Also the weight is only 1.39 lbs. Here is the link.

Including a shot I took with it today.
Or, you could get the version that has l glass, here is a link to a refurbished at Canon USA for $1079. Bh has em too.

pmorin.... thanks for the info but I am very specific in wanting the Canon f/4 L IS lens. Out of curiosity I did look again at the canon refurbs and the 70-300 L is still out of stock as is the 70-200L.

If your 70-200 had IS I would trade you plus toss in something else for my 70-200 f/4 IS lens.
