Can someone tell me why Canon does not put a 24-70mm 2.8L IS lens to compliment the 70-200?
Thanks!

Thanks! dP Because the 70-200 receives enough compliments from the users even in the absence of the image stabilized brick. Potenza-Walore-Prestigio

JoeW Senior Member  619 posts Joined Nov 2006 Location: Alabama More info | I'd think they could make one with IS not too much heavier. They did it with the 70-200 f4 IS. Don't really care if they do (though it would be an ideal lens) because I'm not planning on getting rid of my current non-IS version. Gear: 5DII, 40D, 24-105 f4L, 100-400L; 24-70 f2.8L, 70-200 f4 IS L, 17-40 f4 L, 50 f1.4, 550 EX (& a 10D w/ a broken shudder & an Elan IIe that still works)
