Peer... what full frame lens is faster with an overlapping focal length?

Also, to say that faster is more versatile is your personal opinion based on what you shoot, not the rest of us. It's just one aspect of versitility. I would hands down pick IS over a stop (go buy a light kit). And not to be argumentative, but I've never seen handheld video from 200mm that was professionaly smooth, but I have from IS.

I've not always been a Phil Bloom fan, and there are a few things I might argue about in his article, but (and I own roughly 20 lenses) I agree with him that the 24-105L IS is probably the most versitile zoom for video SLRs (besides the 28-300L), and that IS is critical for any handheld video (actually a MONOPOD is critical for any handheld video) :)

Phil, good article, good work!
A suggestion for you.... I've been nagging Ken Rockwell to write something about the best old Nikkor AI glass for Canon SLRs, you should beat him to the punch.
