    Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

    Isn't the 70-200 f4 not a whole not cheaper than the 70-200 f2.8?

    I picked my f/4 up for $560. The 2.8 is $1,169.95. However, the f/4 IS is $1,025.00. So if I had had 2.8 money I would have gotten the f/4 IS.

    At any rate, I love my f/4. It will certainly foot the bill for awhile...

    Thanks for the reply. I probably was looking at the price of the IS version then.

    I used to catch lizards and take their legs off, then I'd give them to my cats. Funny how fast a lizard becomes a snake when it has no legs.
