What I hear
I've heard people in the know from Canon USA saying they have “no idea what's going on with them” in regards to the current backorder on the 24-70 f/2.8L.

Most people in the know give you ETA's, not in this case. Just another sign.

  1. BTW, out of focus shallow DOF isolates the subject and becomes quite pretty for example around a FF equivalent of 85 mm f2.8 (depending on focus distance), as you can get from the 70-200 2.8 lenses.

    It is more difficult to get this effect on a crop camera, and especially on a crop 2.0 camera. Even a f2.0 lens doesn’t really cut it. This, full use of lenses, and better low light performance are the main reasons why people pay more for a FF camera.

  2. I also don’t get why this lens should be on short supply? Searching some webshops it seems you can get it pretty easy….

    True. The game was stopped before the goal. Another funny thing is that if you look at the line during the free kick right before the goal, it looked so much like american football as compared to soccer… Players wrestling each other in a line; the US team trying to push their opponents into the net (instead of get the ball there). Maybe this is why the referee stopped the game, huh? No american football allowed in a soccer world cup game (real football?).

    Pizza boy, pretty much the whole world is excited about football. Especially during the world cup. Except the northern 2/3rds of north America, which btw still seems excited but not that much. I think if you learn the rules and give it a little time you will easily get to like it and catch up with the rest of the world.

    it’ll make me grow more muscle for sure… but i suppose the only way to make it lighter is to use “engineered plastic” that they’ve been using for the past few upgrade to…also shortening the life expectancy… great…
