Share Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L
A few reports around the globe about the EF 24-70 f/2.8L being officially discontinued. This was an inevitable event. I’ve had at least 2 suggestions that have said the version II delay has been to dump excess stock of the version 1. How plausible is that? I don’t know. Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L @ B&H for $1579 There has been no mention of another delay for the version II. It’s still slated to start shipping in July. You can still preorder it at B&H for $2299. Do not expect any sort of price drop on the version II for quite some time. cr

In the UK at least, the 24-70 original seems to be steadily climbing in price as stocks dwindle. Glad I picked mine up when v. II was announced - it would now cost £200 more.

I bought 3 copies(mrk I) in the past, none of them gave me the sharpness I'm looking for.

Am I sad to see this news?..... :) :) :)

Mrk II seems very promising, can't wait to attach mrk II on my 5d III.

There's entirely to much waiting for new products for my comfort level - I've had the 24-70 II and 1DX on pre-order from the moment they were open for them, and while I'm sure CR appreciates the views they get from me neurotically checking on news about them daily, I would much prefer actually using them :)

I do know that the next lens announcement I'll be a whole lot more skeptical and careful about wanting it

Axilrod:
Is that why the price is insanely high right now?  $1579 at B&H and the MSRP is still listed as $1399 on Canon's site....
