Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Delayed Again

Canon Rumors:
Share Not good news
Contrary to what I was told recently by a few retailers, Canon has delayed the release of the EF 24-70 f/2.8L II again. This time until mid September 2012. The reason for the delay is said to be for “final  adjustments in production”. CR’s Take
This is tough news for a lot of people. I own a lens rental business and not being able to find more new 24-70′s in Canada to add to stock has caused a few moments of stress. We were really hoping for a smooth switchover from version 1 to version 2. However, if this is for quality control reasons, then the delay is worth it. No matter how much it drives us bonkers. cr

More time for me to save up  8)

Hmm, will this delay drive the price of the outgoing 24-70 up considerably? I'm starting to consider selling my 24-70 v1 in August if this is the case.

... Then again, probably not.

This is absolutely ridiculous!  After we've already been waiting 5 months for our pre-orders from major retailers, Canon now tries to tell us that something about the lens needs to be "adjusted".   I, for one, don't believe that lie for one second.   To CANON:  Our patience isn't limitless.   If you want to keep our business, deliver product with a reasonable time!
