OOps! I had TGG on my mind. I bought a 70-200 from them last week.
hehe you got me excited for a sec there as thought TGG joined the ebay sale!
Its a shame that teds did not drop the price like they did on their website.
No it's not. There is no price drop on their website.
They are doing a 10% off sale direct through their website/stores on selected products marketed as a GST free sale.
EBay promotion is a partnership sale between Ted's and eBay and is 20% off which is off everything in their eBay store.
Granted businesses should minimise having conflicting sales running at the same time but they're not being dodgy.
This lens truly is outstanding. It replaced my 70-200 F2.8 IS because its just as sharp and only one stop slower. If you need the reach, just get it.
In terms of bokeh, the aperture diameters look about the same compared to the 70-200 f/2.8. WhatAperture comparison
The 100-200mm will have bigger bokeh because of the focal length, is more suited to well-lit (outdoors) scenes where you need more reach (and as you said) and/or want more subject isolation.
The 70-200mm will be more versatile in terms of low-light shooting and allow you to stand closer for portraits if you want a bit more of the background in the frame.
Isn't 2.8 to 4.5 more than one stop?
This is indeed a great lens, I have the 70-200 FS2.8 and used a 2x teleconverter as per Tony's Video but getting this if you can as this price is awesome for the lens - especially for wild-life of action sports. (5DMkIII and 7D - original)
Vendor is incorrect in title says The Good Guys. Suppose to be Teds Camera Store.
