Canon 24-70 2.8 II - no IS and $1000 more?
Just saw the specs and price for the Canon 24-70 2.8 L II. I just don't get it. Granted it has exotic glass that should do wonders for CA. But no IS and a $1000 price hike seems crazy. Makes me even more hesitant to move up to FF and give up my 'cheap' alternative of the EF-S 17-55 2.8 with IS for only $1000. Link to info… -

If it's as sharp as the 70-200 II, (though it'll probably be sharper), I think it'll be worth about what the 70-200 II is - around $2000. I'm more interested in the 24 and 28 primes. I love primes, but why are these so expensive? And why are they only 2.8? They'd better be sharp - I'm talking 24-70L II sharp. -

Um, Canon already makes a 24 f/1.4, and its ~$1500. They also already make a 28mm f/1.8, and it's ~$500. So Canon already has both of those wide-angle prime markets covered. (High budget, low-budget). I believe these primes are a good compromise between the two. You can get all the stability advantages of faster apertures,… -

Re: Canon 24-70 2.8 II - no IS and $1000 more?
I think many of us are scratching our heads over this (see similar threads in accessories). I know there is no way I'll pay that much to replace my 24-70L I. I'll be following the Tamron to see how it performs in the real world and if I want to go for IS (I really would find it helpful - I'm not a good hand-holder at best… -
Re: Canon 24-70 2.8 II - no IS and $1000 more?
I wrote this in another thread but this one move by Canon is seriously making me second-guess my plans to move to full frame. I could justify the body costing $3000 to replace my current 50D. I was going to justify the move from a 10-22 and 17-55 to the 17-40 and 24-70 for some more money but not THIS much more and to lose…
