The 2.8 is worth every more penny in my opinion. Wide angle probably fine with F4, but telezoom is best with 2.8.
I would probably recommend getting a fixed lens like 85 etc… for that amount

Not sure whether they (Abe's of Maine) are authorized Canon resellers or not!

Prices are always a little but cheaper with gray market products. Real Canon product, but made for sale in other countries, so warranty not valid in the USA.

Completely disagree.
This f4 is so small and light it's a whole different experience. It's the same size and weight as the 24-105L zoom. And it is essentially a perfect lens with no flaws. I can afford the f2.8 and I specifically chose the f4.

interesting.

At least for portrait and capture kids actions, F4 is not my cup of tea.
the 2.8 beats the f4 in every category, except compatibility. even at the same F4, 2.8 version out perform much better on the edge.
This RF f4 is not bad, when consider the difference of ef versions. Just personally i feel its worth the money to go for 2.8.
