Production of ef 24-105mm f/4L II: Pause, refresh, or just lagging?

[monkey44]

Apparently, stand-alone 24-105 II is now in stock at Adorama ... not sure how many, and not sure if I missed the fact that it's now out there in other areas as well. Have been out of touch recently --

B&H is OOS tho, which is unusual that both have the same items and pricing as a general rule.

I ordered one today .., and will test it side x side with my v1 when it arrives Thursday. See how it compares in field tests. Then sell one or the other - probably keep the v2 tho, makes more sense even if for the IS ...

I've been on the fence with this based on reviews, but pulled the trigger when I saw it available alone. Was never gonna buy it as the kit anyway. Haven't planned on upgrading to the Mk IV - 5DM3 and 7D2 still give me what I need for today. We'll see in the future when the price drops on the MK IV, maybe ??

I love the focal range of this lens, it is especially useful and convenient when I go for overseas vacation. I sold my mark I and now on the fence for mark II due to the reviews. Interested to know your results.
