Canon's new 24-70 2.8L II ship date

(1/16) > >>

MARKOE PHOTOE:
Does anyone have an update on the possible ship date for the new 24-70?

Ryanide:
I was at Samy's Camera Los Angeles today (5/9) and the canon rep there said that he has heard it may be by the end of June. But, I've read other places they are expecting it sometime in July.  He did say that he has seen prints and it is a really sharp lens and the reason for the $900 price increase has to do with the cost of the materials and special lens elements.... (ok!?)

Either way, I can't wait.

This was buried in another thread, but the release date in Japan is "Middle of July" after the 1dx release.

Axilrod:
Damnit I really want to get my hands on this lens, from the little bits i've heard here and there it's pretty damn amazing.

squarebox:
yup... was hoping to use this at two of my friend's weddings this year... but no dice.
