Bob thanks a lot I hadn't really considered either of these points. Although the majority of my photos is taken of still objects every now and again I do take portrait so I could get subject blur. This is a very good point. However surely two stops more ISO will lead to more grain. On a city...

Hi all I'm on the brink of purchasing the above lens. I don't like using flash and the majority of my photos are taken in low light and outdoors. Am I expecting too much from the 2.8 with its 4stop image stabiliser. I take my camera on city breaks . I spent a few days in Paris recently and...
