Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Delayed? [CR2]
almograve:
So we get the 5D mkIII, we sit tight for the lense and it doesn't come!! Now what!? We get the 24-105 for more than the kit!? We get the 24-70 and in 2 months we have a ten years old lense that is "replace" by a II version!?
What should I do!?

Ummm ... go take photo's?
Surely you have other lenses you can use until then?
infared:
That is right...I am out taking photos! LOL! I sold my 24-105mm in anticipation of this new lens release, God knows I cannot afford to own both!....So Canon charges us a $1000 premium (absurd)...and has no delivery date...How about lowering the price for the inconvenience Canon???
I guess I am going to pony up and pick up the 5DIII in the next few weeks. I was going to take delivery on the new 24-70mm in mid April as per the release date....and then get the new body later in the year as I have a 5DII which is more than adequate and would perform wonderfully with the new lens, no doubt.
But for know I will just keep taking photos and upgrade when I can. Oh, Well.
JR:
This so frustrating...
Man Canon keeps teasing us with these new products!
picture-this:
After reading the link this news comes from, I'm not betting on the info due to it coming from a Canon sales Rep.
Here's the quote...
"Initial reports had it shipping on April 17th but upon inquiring to my local camera store about CPS pricing, the local Canon rep informed the store that this lens will not ship until July!"
