*UPDATE*
Canon USA pricing is now official, and it looks like a significant price bump for the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II. It better be the best built, best focusing and have the best optical quality of any Canon zoom lens!
Available April 2012
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM $2299
Available June 2012
EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM $849
EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM $799
I am surprised the 24mm and 28mm are so closely priced. I figured the 24mm would cost a considerable amount more. These primes are NOT priced for the mass market, I’d love to hear the reason for these two lenses and their price point.

The bad news? Below is pricing released on the Canon Germany web site. Still waiting to see official USA pricing.

LOL that's $3011.35 Canadian. This has to be a mistake... or the Europeans are getting seriously ripped off. Or maybe they throw in a 7D with a kit lens if you pre-order? :)

I'd prefer the 24mm L if they ask 800 Bucks for a 2.8 prime lens.
