One word: speed.

I like to shoot low-light.  One thing that keeps me from shooting more
67 in low light is lens speed.  Sharpness wide open, too.  I like the
105mm f2.4 for low light...but I want wider and longer, too.  The 300mm
f4 ED IF is kind of out of my price range (though I think I'm gonna try
dickering on that $2400 used one at Henry's) right now, but I intend to
get one in the future.

How's the 45mm f4 wide open?
