Daft question, but why would you expect a lower price? Don't get me wrong, this is one lens that I am seriously looking at, so an update would be welcomed.


But why would they update it anyway, by all accounts it is one of Canon's best lenses in terms of IQ, focus speed etc, so why do they need to change it? Presumably it sells in the quantities that they expect?


And the current climate is not exactly conducive for the current user base to feel the need to upgrade.
