If you go to the original webpage https://www.camerasdirect.com.au …0-200mm-f2.8l-is-usm.html They say there's nothing to improve, and from what I read on this forum, they're right... When it comes to electronics they have and will always be improved. That includes lenses. Canon 5D IV | Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L Mark 2 | Canon 85mm f/1.8 | 580 EX II

Even if 70-200 f/2.8L IS sales are down significantly, I'm sure it's still one of the better selling lenses. Down sales of that lens would mean down sales of ALL lenses. (Which I'm sure is true given the economy). There is no way the 70-200 f/2.8L IS is simply discontinued without a replacement. Never going to happen. If they did it, they'd be conceding the camera business to Nikon. Jordan Steele - http://www.jsteelephotos.com

I would say that the 16-35 2.8L and the 70-200 2.8L IS are the two most popular lenses in use by the photo journalist and sports photographers. Oh yes, and event photographers. Oh yes, and by wedding photographers. Etc. etc. etc. -Harv-
