Hmmm, might have to get a 16-35 to fill in that wide gap. 

Probably need the 8-15 wide open

Yesterday, October 13, 2012, I checked my B & H Photo back ordered Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II (USM) lens and learned that the lens I ordered is available and the order was fulfilled and sent to their warehouse for shipping!  I ordered this lens with a credit card guarantee for payment in mid July, 2012.  It took three months to fulfill.  I expect to receive this lens by Tuesday, Oct. 16th or Wednesday the following day.  I am eagerly looking forward to using this lens. I purchased a Tamron AF 28-75mm F/2.8 II F macro (new for $500) and it was a good lens but not the quality of the Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L II lens, so I ordered the 24-70mm II lens.

Wow, local stores have had them going in and out of stock for quite a few weeks.  B&H seems to be having issues getting their quotas from Canon.  I had heard that there was some friction that caused this, but heve no specifics.
