My school wants me to take photos of their events, concerts, assemblies, all that stuff where I'd like to keep myself out of other people's way and stay back. They also like dim lighting...
It also works extremely well with automotive photography. Tomorrow I might be going to a track to take photos for the Washington people here.
I need to make the decision TODAY. And the 70-200mm is an option now. But if I go that direction, getting a 24-70mm 2.8 would be highly unlikely, and I'll be mid-rangeless for a long time, and I'm fearing I may miss some shots.
Is the extra $1000 worth the VR and quiet, faster auto-focus?
