EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM

I doubt the used price of the 70-200 2.8 IS will go down to $1000 especially if the MKII is $2400 or so. I'd expect to stay somewhere where it is $1400 or so. The 24 1.4 mkI is still getting around $900 on ebay and that was a $1200 lens. It is the contrast of the options, $1700 or $900 for something that is still great, just not as great.

The price on this site has the lens listed as € 2969; which would convert to about $4 280 US. Mind you typically the $ is not the converted price of the € listed price. But the price will be high at the initial launch - close to $3000US if not more. That should keep the used price of the older version high for some time.


I guess I will just have to watch the canon site and see.

I sold my version I for $1800 ... because I had sold my Camera... but this year looks like the year I'll be blowing a mint, especially if the 24-70 IS comes out like predicted



I just hope the version II is not toooo much more than the I, as the I is still $2000+taxes new here.
