----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Is the February (?) PMA where Canon would announce a IS version of the | 70-200/2.8? Do they make major lens announcements at industry shows only, | for the publicity? I am deciding between the 2.8 and the 4.0. If they | announce an IS version, the non-IS should drop in price. | Well Ron, The 70-200 f2.8 IS was expected to be announced at the last 5 or 6 shows world-wide. Will it ever be announced? Nobody knows, but the speculation will continue for some time yet, I think. Canon may be concentrating their development efforts towards DO technology. This is not to say that we will never see this lens in the shops, but it may be too close to the 100-400 IS for Canon. If this list is anything to go by, Canon should release it as it is on a few 'wish lists'.
