[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 622601, member: 13090"] Well I've been doing even more reading and watching even more reviews of this lens, including one by... *deep breath*... The Angry Photographer. Extreme Kudos go out to slightly stuffy, stereotypical white-guy [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmU_ja6Ea7G1RYGfy3zeVA]Dustin Abbott[/url] for reviewing this lens to the n'th degree in a rational and approachable manner. His YouTube channel rocks in my opinion. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]...[/COLOR] And that's really the Crux O' the Matter, isn't it? Whether or not I want to get on without my "old reliable". My G1 is awesome 95% of the time and fickle about 5% of the time. Those numbers might be a little conservative, but my point is, for the longest time what I was doing with my photography allowed me to overlook that 5%. Things have changed though and I really, [I]really[/I] need to be 100% confident in what I'm shooting. At some point you realize your technique really IS good and it's not what you're doing, it's what you're doing it [I]with[/I]. And so, after much deliberation, I have decided that no, I can't do without a solid, fast 70-200; I just can't. Not to mention from every review I've seen/read the G2 is nothing short of a whole new lens: New body construction (aluminum vs polycarb), significantly better weather sealing; improved auto-focus speed, tracking AND overall accuracy (specifically in low light), better lens coatings, slightly better IQ along the edges and in the corners, it's compatible with their AF fine-tuning dock and software... Every complaint I have about my G1 seems to have been addressed, and [I]then some[/I], in the G2; which is why I'm going to give it a shot. Looks like my sexy two-seater is just gonna have to wait. :( [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
