any canon 70-200 f4 non is owners

[stumac]

IM thinking of getting this lens for motorsport because
a-cant afford the 2.8 is version
b-my 100-400l is most of the time just a tad too much

I find even on a cloudy day with an iso of 400 I can get speeds in access of 1/800 easy enough so i dont think the non IS or even the f4 should be a problem.
can anyone give me there input on this lens for motorsports.

many thanks

I've got one, used it for several years for sport because it's light and brilliantly sharp. Results v price it's one of the best.

But for football/rugby I've bought the 2.8 IS which is superb at isolating subjects.

Hi Stuart I doubt you will need the IS for motorsports. And this lens is so lightweight its a joy to handhold. Also its a superbly sharp lens. I had this but have since sold it and upgraded to the 2.8 non IS version. My only reason being i needed the extra stop for evening sports where the light is fading.

Can't give any info on motors, but I use it (the 70-200f4 L) at Manchester Airport for the planes and it does a fine job!!
Just love this lens, it's on my camera most of the time!

I use this lens for a mix of things and I love it to bits. It gives me excellent results for portraits, random family snaps, candids and have used it to take pictures at a few local grass root footy matches. F4 does me well and it is crisp sharp lens with good colour reproduction.

Of course I want the F2.8 IS but basically I'm in the same boat as you with money but this lens does me well and don't feel that I'm slumming it all.
