Oh yeh that one is ok. You should try the 70-200 f/4 IS or even better the 70-200 2.8L IS II. Those lenses are prime sharp. In fact I had a 200 2.8L and a 70-200 2.8L IS II at the same time once and the 70-200 was sharper than the prime!

I paid $840 for this one, which included the hood, caps, B + W filter, and the bag. It's in new condition. I was set to save and get the 2.8 v1 with IS. But I couldn't pass up this deal. I have no regrets. Maybe someday I'll upgrade... But I'm moving on to a 135L next. Gotta sell a motorcycle first!
The f/4 IS WAS the sharpest till the 70-200 2.8L IS II came along.
