IS lens are often hundreds of dollars more than their non-IS counterparts. It is very unlikely that one of these new macro lens will be priced in the same range as the current 100mm macro lens.
I’ve been wondering why the 100 mm 2.8 macro has been out of stock on Adorama and BH for the past month. I’ve been wanting to buy one, but now it looks like I might as well wait.
What the heck does the L even matter? My 100mm f/2.8 macro is noticeably sharper than a lot of L lenses, even primes.
