New 70-200/2.8 IS lens

Let's make sure we prop up the price of the "old" one.

I gotta say: The new Nikon 70-200 was needed. It greatly improved upon the older version in both edge sharpness and especially stabilization. As to the Canon, the "old" one was and still is a great lens.

I guarantee the new one will retail for $2399, just like the Nikon. That's a hefty chunk of change. Maybe I'll have to sell mine to get it. I like new, ya know.

Probably cost $100

Ill assume it is an error as the press release says:

yep.... this is what im thinking too.

For me, id make much better use of a 5d mkII then the 70-200 mkII for my style of shooting

I wonder if it is going to be the soft one like F4, or still the nice one like with the existing f2.8

ah man, just got my 70-200/2.8L IS 2 weeks ago . Now I'll have to upgrade

I'm hoping the street price of this one doesn't exceed US$1999. I knew I was holding off the purchase of a 70-200mm for a reason...
