I think Canon will need to respond with something special very quickly, because the 24-70 has left some underwhelmed.
After having a year to think about this, I have decided I am going to wait and see how the reviews shake out once Bryan gets his hands on the two lenses. I want to see the Extender comparison of the two before I buy one. I think both will be awesome at their native length, the TC's are going to be the deciding factors. At this point I am not interested in the 200-400 at all. But then we don't know how it is going to perform either.

Everyone wanted IS, I sold my old 24-70mm because I thought it was the worst canon L lens I had. Without the IS on the new 24-70mm it has to put out some awesome IQ for me to consider it. Disappointing yes...but....not a game changer.
