Hello, I've been using my kit lens for several years. I finally decided to teach myself how to take actual photographs with manual/av/tv settings. I have a 70-300, 100mm macro, and my kit 18-55. I'm ready to get a better everyday lens. I am really interested in buying the canon 24-70 2.8L v1. However, a few weeks ago when I first really started to look into buying it, I'm pretty sure I saw it at $1300 new. The cheapest I'm seeing it now is $1500, and on amazon anywhere from $1700 to $2100...for version 1!! In the forums opinion would it be best to just buy it at $1500 or wait to see if it goes down later this year, maybe when version 2 comes out? Or, should I just keep saving up and pay a little more for v2?? I don't know if I'm that comfortable paying that much for a lens, but if the v1 keeps going up....
Any help is greatly appreciated!
