I can't see how anyone apart from Geoff capes or maybe a Marines Sniper could handhold an un IS lens and keep it steady enough to have a pin sharp shot.  Its hard enough with IS lenses.If the OP isnt that bothered about getting the maximum sharpness then by all means include the 400/5.6 in your options.</blockquote>
