New Lens Patents for Canon !!

[J-Chan]

Looking at the supposed patent diagram, I think its highly unlikely it would have a filter mount. Though its just the glass elements design, nothing known yet about the lens body..

lol...no worries. i believe the 70-200 f/2.8 II IS will be more expensive than the current version, so on B&S, your lens will be a hit especially so when its still so new. but if i were u, i will just stick to the mark I version. its ok wad. it's served the pros well since 2001.

I'll still stick with it, unless the new 70-200 f/2.8 IS II is significantly lighter.

No worry brother. Who know when will it be launched? For the MarkII, it is more expensive. (e.g. 100mm macro). Lastly, we already enjoy using the lens.

P.S. I bought my 70-200 f4L IS in end Oct 2009.

Me will keep my 70-200 f2.8 IS. It had been serving me well for years.

BTW, I do hope they improve the 100-400mm.

the 70-200 f/4L IS wont be replaced so soon. it was launched in 2006. so no worries about that. theres still many yrs before the replacement comes. abt the 100-400, im pretty sure the replacement will be coming according to CR. oh man...im dying for the 70-200 f2.8 IS II...but since the price is gonna be so much higher i will have to wait til 2011. oh well, no hurry.

Stick with it. I got mine in Jun 09 and am sticking with mine. the 70-200 f/2.8 IS as-is is already capable of capturing fantastically steady pics. Until proven otherwise, i think the "improvement" in one's photography from Mk 1 to Mk 2 won't be that drastic.
