Lenses / Re: 70-200 f/2.8 II or f/4 vs. 200/2.8 prime

I don't want to hijack this thread but do folks think the new pricing on the 70-200 is here to stay or will it likely be rising in the near future.  Love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

Canon General / Re: 5D mark II versus 7D spot focus

I too have used both most recently for video work and the rate of focus in good light between the 5DM2 and the 7D is VERY noticeable.  I often use the Quick Focus setting to setup my video shot with live view on.  Quick Focus is where it flips the mirror down, focuses and flips it back up to give you back live view.  In Good light with the 7D this is a very quick process - It grabs the focus almost instantly and you are back to live view.   On the 5DM2 it hunts, I found that I need to be more careful and give it a bit more of a contrasty spot to let it get focus.    On both cameras I was using the same copy of the 24-70.  In lower light it is a bit less noticeable but I VERY rarely feel like the 5DM2 grabs focus as quickly as the 7D.
