70-200L 2.8 IS - it's a monster

[mcgus]

now, I'd tried this out alongside the f4 at B&H and decided that I wouldnt really be happy with the f4 so waited to get the 2.8. I picked it up from Kerso on Sunday and boy is it a big **%^#*! When you consider the price of another polarizing filter as well as the price of the tripod collar the total price isn't that far apart. At least that was how I convinced myself!! Now to get myself to knockhill this weekend to try it out!

I'm looking at a 2.8 IS, possibly from Kerso as well. Can you confirm that the tripod collar comes with it or not. Thanks.
