MMM,all sounds a bit confusing!

Yes,i had heard of new releases next year.

I have just ordered 70 to 200 L non IS its $1660 delivered.

so it will have to do.

I was tempted by the F4 version,but after using the

400 L prime,which is an outstanding lens,its F5.6

and at times,felt like a lower F number.

I plan to us the 70 to 200 in low light situations on

some projects,thats why i chose it.

will see waht happins after i open the parcel!

i used one at astrofest,and results looked pretty darn sharp!

even using 1.4 tc on only a XXXD body.

thanks for interesting feed back,

Chris
