All prices in USD. No one has released prices for Euro or SGD.
One thing that's interesting and I find fascinating is the design of the 600 II matching so closely to the 800. Notice also that the version II L lenses are now whiter onwards second half of 2010.
EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM
EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM

impressed by the new feature in the tele lenses.
-all-new magnesium alloy construction and titanium components ensure the designs are both robust and lightweight. The EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM is the lightest lens in its class*, offering unrivalled mobility due to an incredible 28% reduction in weight (1.5KG) compared to its predecessor, while the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM offers photographers an 8% weight reduction.
-new dedicated AF algorithms and a new high-speed CPU, which offer quick and accurate focusing during shooting.
Cant wait for the review.

Be prepared to pay extra 3~4K as compare to older version.
I thought 500mm was still ok but seems they want to revise all big gun (300f2.8, 400f2.8, 500f4, 600f4).
500/600 are going to be designed very similar to 800mm.
I was hoping to see new version of 100-400, 24-70 (not exactly, current version is very sharp and overall good performer), 50mmf1.4 but oh-well they see ppl still buying it and don't feel urgency to change them.

Of the lens announced.... I am most disappointed that 50mm F1.4 has not announced a replacement with Ring USM.....
Only the 70-300mm look interesting to me, and if it is $1500..... I will consider it..... Size, weight, weather seal.... this will be a good travel lens..... pair it with a 17-40/ 24-105.... it is almost all the lens you need for travel....

Where are the replacement for the 300F4L IS and 400F5.6L?
I expect those to be updated after all the L lenses are updated.
In the short term my interest are the
EF 8-15mm f/4L USM
EXTENDER EF 1.4x III
EXTENDER EF 2.0x III
By 2013 I hope to have regrown two pairs of kidneys for the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM & EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM.

its under the part with Lens name & small knob on the side. refer to the 300 & 400 images...
In case you didn't realise, EF 50mm f/1.0 L USM was released by Canon and discontinued for a long time.
Where are the replacement for the 300F4L IS and 400F5.6L?
:think: EF 300mm f/4 IS is pretty good as it is right now. Perhaps EF 400mm f/5.6 should have a IS model to make it even more attractive and affordable.
