5D Mk III Kit Lenses

ooops ... some how replied the wrong thread?!  pls. ignore

The fact that you are thinking the D800 is an upgrade to the D700 says it all

There will be no such thing as a 24-70 mkII pairing with the 5DmkIII! What are some of you on, drugs! (< *quote) It's a new TOTL lens and they would not offer it at the same discount as other "kit lenses."

Please search the other websites before slamming the comment.

The EOS 5D Mark III will be available through Canon dealers from late March 2012 and will be available in the following kits:

Body Only
Premium Kit, containing the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens
Pro Kit, containing the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens

This applies to Australia and NZ, but I just want to know whether it will be available elsewhere.

Hi all,
Besides Australia and New Zealand having the 5DIII Prokit 24-70II lens in April, is there any news that this "pro Kit" will be available in other countries?

I have searched the internet and it seems only these 2 countries will be having it.
But then again, the price for the pro kit in aussie is very high, so it will be better to buy them separately overseas.

It has been listed at Photoprice.ca since prior to the March 2nd launch day however it still does not have any pricing associated with it.
