A pro lens and a pro body. So maybe they are just tweaking what they think they can. Definitely would have expected an IS version of the 24-70 before this though. This can only mean one thing. If they did something crazy like this, that IS version of the 24/70 IS is coming.

But if the price drops within a reasonable range and initial reports are positive, I'll more than likely make the switch. It's time for bed. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~

This seems alot like when the released the 85L MII, not worth the upgrade "You are going to fall off a cliff trying to get a better shot someday"- My hopeful and loving wife

I'm hanging onto my 17-40.. so far so good.
