I saw that Canon put out a November 2006 release date (website info). I see Amazon has them available now.

Would love to see some sample images and hear the impressions from those who have them.

If I turn my paper over, I'll have more room to add this lens to my wish list of gear I yearn to buy :(

Seeing the 85L MKII (yes, I'm sure it's the MkII) brand new for $1200 from a reputable dealer makes me think 85. ;-)a

Just like the 85. It's the 85L for crop cams, basically.

Sounds very suspicious to me for the Mark II.

Should be easy to decide between 85L and 50L focal-length wise. Just go through your pics taken with a midrange zoom and see for yourself what focal length you use most often.

Or buy them both ;-)a
