I had actually decided to buy the 24-105 f/4 L IS lens (and NOT the 24-70 f/2.8 L as I discussed elsewhere on CR), but now, today, I see a worrying rumour here on the CR front page, about a possibly impending Mark II version of this lens.
I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere on CR before, though I may have missed it. That makes me think it's not even certain to be in the pipeline, and even if it is, it may be a while.
I was going to buy the current version of this lens as early as next week. The point is, spring is coming, and soon I will come out of "photographic hibernation" and want to go out at weekends and start taking pretty pics again, and I want the (weatherproof) lens to do that. I will want the lens for the start of spring-time this year.
So I am inclined still to buy the current version of the lens, UNLESS anyone knows thart the Mark II is coming, and soon, and when.
Comments, please?
