Finding a Lens (cambs area)

[Clonetrooper]

I'm about to make a decision on a Canon 70-200 IS lens to buy for my 50D. My trouble is I can't find anywhere that physically stocks the 2.8 and I don't know anyone who has one.

I'm trying to decide if I'd rather go for the F4 over the 2.8. The 2.8 would be nice but I actually want to feel the weight to decide whether I would actually use it much if I had to lug it round.

Anyone know of anywhere in the cambridge or near surrounding area that actually stocks a 2.8 IS lens that I can actually go and look at?

I don't actually know of many independants in the area and all the large stores like Jessops don't have any in. Or any independants in the area that I may not know about.

According to Jessops site the F4 is available at Green Street Cambridge.

Hmmm it could be an option to have a run there, I work in Luton so if there is nowhere nearer I might have to do that

Norwich a bit further than I would like at the minute, unless I get desperate

Yeah I saw they have that one, It's the weight of the 2.8 I really want to play around with

Thanks for the suggestions.
