Hmm.. interesting. Maybe a 70-400IS F/2.8 is on the way. :)

Does this mean the price will drop?
I always thought this was the latest version of the 70-200... maybe a mk II?

A bunch of baloney, nothing has been confirmed. Their source is some bloke off an internet forum.

Actually, I have a BIG apology; I completely mis-read an email from our purchasing department. We have NO official notification that this is discontinued - we just can't get any at the moment.

I do apologize for any misunderstanding or concern that this has caused.

So does that mean no 100-400 f/4? :(

Nikon is rumored to discontinue their 70-200mm VR as well. Bigger and better things to replace a legendary lens is my guess. I don't know about the Canon FF users, but the 70-200mm supposedly showed some vingetting on a FF, maybe they got rid of that and placed a faster AF motor and better VR?

Does this mean the price will drop? That would be fantastic, haha.

Sure.

And its going to be half the price of the 70-200/2.8 IS.

100-400 2.8 would be great as a replacement ;)
