I just got an email from Adorama announcing it so they must be rolling in (for Canon). I won't be able to try one until the end of next month.

You shouldn't have gone to the dark side. :p

LOL! I almost did it like 5 times by now ;) Still holding on though...

Canon really let us down with the lack of IS on 24-70II for the price they are asking. Because now it's not only the matter of price, but features also. :rolleyes:

$2300 for a 24-70 with no IS. What is more ridiculous?

Yeah, 24-70 with VC for $1,300 or 24-70L II without IS for $2,300?

I can't view YouTube on this machine. By not as fast I would assume AF? If that's the case I suspected that. As long as the IQ is good and the stabilization works well I'll be happy.

at least based on the video, its barely a little slower, but the nice thing is that he added that he noticed the vc kicking in. In that case, I would take that as a reasonable tradeoff.

Sounds like the difference between the Tokina 16-28 and the Nikon/Canon counterparts. The AF is a tad slower but still very snappy and quick compared to some other lenses. I'm looking at this for working indoors where I need the ability to zoom and the stabilization on these if working correctly adds several stops. With the EF-S 17-55 IS I could get sharp shots as slow as 1/15s. That's what I'm hoping this lens will do well.

Can't want to see some test shots from members here. Was going to sell my 35L to help fund the Canon 24-70 II but now I might hold out for a little bit.
