So the rented 70-200mm F4L IS went back today. I'm ashamed to say I took less than a dozen pics with it. I just couldn't find things to shoot with it. It's too slow to use indoors and I really didn't have a need for that range outside this week. The rental experience was useful, though, in that it showed me that if I bought a 70-200 it would sit unused in my bag quite a bit. On the other hand, I used the 135L quite a often when I rented it. It was fast enough to use indoors and just "short" enough to use in my living room for shooting the cats. I'm now thinking I might wait on a 70-200 and get the 135L first. Maybe with a 1.4x TC to give me range when I need it.

This was the second time I rented a 70-200, although the first was non-IS. I didn't shoot much with that one either.
