This is a bit shady, but you can buy it today giving an address but a card that will probably decline because of not having enough funds. They will then take about 3 days to notice and then tell you to give a good card in 3 days and then rinse and repeat and you can buy yourself sometime that way.

I thought it was something to do with shoes, actually.
Canon is listening to customers, they're just not listening to the vocal minority

The thing is, the people on the forum are not, generally speaking, Canon's major target audience.
Still no solution to caps just getting in my way and remaining as just another part of a kit that needs to be looked out forI've heard that Apple are going to release a series of minimalist lens caps. Being transparent, they need no moving parts and never need to be removed or put on - avoiding the constant problem of lost caps. In an unrelated move they are also rumoured to be suing B&W for 'design infringement' due to B&W's use of rounded corners.
Seriously though, the new caps are a very positive sign. The old caps were frankly useless on many lenses with a hood, and it is ridiculous that you needed to go out an buy a third party lens caps for a new $1000+ lenses. That Canon have changed the design suggests that they are finally prioritising customers/users over their marketing department...
it is dubbed hybrid is just because the lens is almost a macro (0.7 macro factor...wow)
Agree agree agree. That's the only arrow in the quiver (along with better IQ, to be fair) that might justify this $1800 price from the translation.
I'm probably in the minority here that I'm more likely to bring my relatively small and light 100L macro over my 70-200 F/2.8L IS II on trips. So if this magnification is true, this could become an epic kill-two-birds-with-one-not-so-big-or-heavy-stone sort of lens for travel.
You are both wrong.
Hybrid IS means it compensates for two types of camera/lens movement.

It is for angle shake and shift shake.
It is ideal for recording handheld video.
I have to admit, I'm glad to see the old 35mm f/2 to go away. It was a terrible lens.
If the 24-70L f/4 isn't cheaper than the 24-105L, I don't see it catching on.
Correct me if i'm wrong but what's the point of IS in such short focal lengths?
With the release of 24-70 f/4L IS it will be a tough choice for some to decide with the 2.8 non IS version, what do you think?
no suprise.
if i would start new today i probably would buy nikon too.
