So, I might have the chance to pick up a very bruised and battered non-IS version of the classic 'workhorse' lens.
It's an old lens from a photographer (pics to follow) and I don't know the price yet, but is it worth picking up the non-IS one bearing in mind I won't be using it for sports or am I better off saving some more pennies and getting at least an IS one.
What will I use it for? Probably lots of things, but essentially for all those occasions where my 24-70 2.8 isn't quite long enough, but I do need the wider aperture. So some events (concerts etc) where I'm further back than I'd like to be.
Is the lack of IS in these sorts of occasions going to be a problem?
Obviously, a lot will depend on final price - which I won't know till Monday.
