After a lot of research and reading I think it will be a good lens for the trip and also have enough versatility in the future. MANY reviews said the f/4 was sharper than the 2.8 under the same conditions. I leave Wednesday and will post some shots once I get back. Thanks for all of the input.

That'a a good one - light, sharp, IS - TristanP 2008-09-15 07:10:13 (18 views)

Yea it was a tough decision... - Rice Etr 2008-09-15 08:19:02 (20 views)

Nice! Enjoy! - Kris Hansen 2008-09-15 06:55:15 (11 views)

70-200 is way too long for typical tourist shots and on the short end for shooting at the track - truth 2008-09-10 09:54:14 (28 views)

Somewhat disagree for the track, often 200mm is enough - Morgan Conrad 2008-09-10 12:34:26 (34 views)

In my mind, that would be two lenses - TristanP 2008-09-10 08:05:47 (64 views)

I neglected to say that I've got a 28-135 already... - Rice Etr 2008-09-10 08:12:07 (48 views)

I would say a 300 F2.8 with a 1.4x multiplier on a cropped body :) - Tanner 2008-09-10 08:19:23 (56 views)

Listen to Tanner, but realize a multi-week rental on any of the lenses you consider will be pricey - Mike S 2008-09-10 10:14:06 (29 views)

I can see the logic in the 300 for the track stuff - Rice Etr 2008-09-10 13:00:52 (26 views)

You have a multiplier for the 70-200? - Tanner 2008-09-10 18:56:43 (20 views)

I don't no. It's not too expensive to rent it so I might just do that. - Rice Etr 2008-09-11 07:47:04 (14 views)

The 28-135 should work for that though.. - Kris Hansen 2008-09-10 10:03:32 (22 views)

I think so. You coming down for Petite? - Rice Etr 2008-09-10 10:24:07 (21 views)

Can't.. got other things going on.... - Kris Hansen 2008-09-10 10:31:50 (27 views)

crap...:-\ - Rice Etr 2008-09-10 12:57:53 (14 views)

I wouldn't consider shooting in the city without at least a wide angle (1x-50ish) - TristanP 2008-09-10 09:44:00 (31 views)

Well with my crop, my 28-135 is really closer to a 50 so it should be good. - Rice Etr 2008-09-10 10:03:05 (23 views)

No, I'm saying you need the wide end even wider due to the crop - TristanP 2008-09-10 10:25:16 (25 views)

Yep, wide angle is a must for the tourist - Tanner 2008-09-10 10:30:27 (27 views)

Agree. - CatOne 2008-09-10 08:53:51 (19 views)
