Rumors
A few things may be coming soon, I'm waiting for the good sources to pipe up.
Photozona.de
Photozone has completed their review of the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II.
The review is very favorable outside of pricing. We all knew it was going to cost a lot more than the previous version, we can all dream though.

Lens Rentals Canada
Canadians may have seen ads for a site called Lens Rentals Canada.
I am partnered in the new Canadian company. We have no affiliation with LensRentals.com in the US, even though Roger is a great guy!
Our goal at Lens Rentals Canada is to create the easiest, most efficient and most enjoyable online rental experience in the country. There will be some bumps along the way, but we're committed to the best customer service in the country.
We stock lots and will be adding more stuff as demand dictates. The first week of launch has been great!
If it seems I've disappeared a bit lately, this is why!

Downtown Camera (Toronto)
I rarely show support for photography stores out there. There are so many great ones. I'd be doing it a lot. So I like to keep it for very special occasions.
Downtown Camera in Toronto, Canada did me a huge favor and I just wanted to say “thanks” here.

It’s even better on APS-C, where it’s given 5 full stars for optical quality. Awesome lens, it’s better than the f/4 IS version, who would have expected that.
I think this is a fake.
There is no golden USM ring at the front and the distance window is too close to the mount, which would make it hard to read in most situations, since the flash/prism housing would be blocking it.
Is that the first 5 stars for optical quality on a APS-C?
In case you or others didnt know Photozone lens rating for APS-C compare differently to fullframe, even if the same lens score higher on a APS-C because it uses less of the outer less sweet area of the lens it does not mean the IQ delevered by APS-C is better. In fact it is likely the FF camera will deliver superior IQ than the crop camera.
