I guess I was a bit rough on you. Sorry. But what you said, and in context of the whole thread, it sounded like you were saying one lens being a good substitute for another. Maybe with you want to do with it, that is the case, but don't expect an IS lens is just as useful as a faster one because it's has stabilization. You may know the difference, but the less experienced photographer could read your post, go out and buy an IS lens and wonder why his pictures didn't turn out.
