I am in the market for a couple as well. Was hoping to get it for a little cheaper though. I don't even need brand new as long as the functionality is there and it's sharp. :mad:

There were a bunch a couple of months ago when I looked last.

Josh,
This same thing happened to me when purchasing an 85L. I finally found one and bought it. A week later I found they were releasing a mk2!

No, we're just joking. But man, not a single 500 f/4L IS to be had in the whole US of A as far as I can tell.

Some folks on FM forum used them and were pleased. I think you have to call to check their stock though.
