Yeah they actually just raised them too. the brick I just bought went up 80bucks the night before I pulled the trigger.

I was about to pull the trigger on the 400 2.8 IS here and it was $7299 CDN and 2 days later it was $8499......that to me was a hell of a hike....

I hear you.... I picked it up for $1900 new 8 months ago.....

I now have my eye set on the 200 f2...it's $6999 but I can shave $300 off with my discount......
