They're smaller, lighter, and less expensive than fast lenses. Here's a page that compares the Canon 70-200 f/4L, the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L, and the IS versions of both lenses. http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-70-200mm-f-4.0-L-USM-Lens-Review.aspx The price comparison is dramatic. The 70-200 f/4L is about $600, while the f/2.8 is $1200. The IS versions of the two lenses come in at $1100 and $1700. Slower lenses generally do have some advantages.
