Grrr, If only I could think of a business justification for this, I just wouldn't using it for anything that paid. Interesting to see canon refurbing the great whites which to be fair were pretty decent to begin with and not say adding IS to the 24-70 or releasing a 1.8 or 2.0 standard zoom (which would sell by the bucket load).
I thought the same thing. The only plus-side to this will be the used market for the previous 300/2.8 and 400/2.8 from those upgrading to the new release. Now, if I could justify the purchase of a used version....

Wonderful, magical lens. (OK, this a brand new lens and new design so it "should be" wonderful and magical. )
