Anybody have any ideas about the recent price drop? Per canonpricewatch, at least 3 sites have the lens priced at $2174 and below. US warranty. At that price, things are getting interesting.

But you can just buy things smartly, and that's it. Moreover, that will no happen any more. So it makes no sense that if you trust me, BTW I want that price too.. Fly me away.
