So, the last couple months were a bit rough around here, and I didn’t have time to pull Nick away from his other duties long enough for us to cut our usual Voice of Raw podcasts. But, it’s the post-Christmas lull right now and we’ve missed the sounds of of our voices as we obstensibly tell you what’s up in the camera world.
So, we’re back…TA-DA!
Canon's newest L offering, mm tasty. But whence this nudity?
Today we get wind of the new Canon 70-200 2.8L IS the version II. Boasting a closer minimum focus distance than its predecessor (1.2m/3.94 ft vs 1.3m / 4.3 ft.) and a purported 4-stops of Optical Image Stabilization against the 3-stop of the version I. Hot diggity it’s exciting, but no word this morning of price.
Canon’s specs table indicates that it doesn’t ship with the new ET-87 lens hood, but their press release says it’ll come with a tripod collar, lens hood, and lens pouch.
Pricing and Availability
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens is supplied with a detachable tripod collar, a reversible bayonet mount lens hood and a lens pouch. The new lens is scheduled to be delivered to U.S. dealers in April, price to be determined.
