Hey all. I'm interested in buying a Canon 28-70mm 2.8 USM lens. Did Canon ever change this lens during the production cycle? If they did do you know what year?
Many Thanks

It seems Canon did not. Usually, a "II" is added to the lens name when they do. Have a look here: http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/ef/standard_zoom.html ("http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/ef/standard_zoom.html) and here: http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/ef/data/standard_zoom/ef_28~70_28l_usm.html ("http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/ef/data/standard_zoom/ef_28~70_28l_usm.html)
I assume you have already read Bryan's review at http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-28-70mm-f-2.8-L-USM-Lens-Review.aspx ("http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-28-70mm-f-2.8-L-USM-Lens-Review.aspx)
