I used to own the 70-200 f/4 non-IS and so regretted not getting the IS version, so when I was getting the 70-200 f2/8 I made sure I had the IS version.
One word of caution the 2.8 non and IS versions is a very heavy lens....
If you want a walk around lens I recommend the 70-200 f/4 IS version.

Thanks for the heads up on the size differance between the f4 and f2.8. I'm now the happy owner of a 70-200mm F4 IS and with the money I saved I bought myself a decent tripod and can now get rid of the one I bought 15 years ago. Didn't pick a great day for trying out an new lense but the few shots I have take are pretty good.

1. EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM which my brother let me borrows his one and it's a super lenses.

Congrats on your choice of the 70-200L f/4 IS and can't wait to see some pictures with it.

I purchased the 24-105L this week from Conn's and this will def be on my Camera 95% of the time.
It's also fine to use in Pub gigs too.

Hi OP
If you're still confused between 24-70 f2.8 and 24-105 f4 ...

well get the 24-70 f2.8, you allready have 70-105 in L f4 range ...

the extra stop makes a difference ,,,
