Although EF 20-35mm f/2.8 L is not on the list, many of my photo posted at CS were taken with this lens, great lens and enjoy it.

Which L zoom brought you great joy?

I think the primes would be still slightly sharper. But the difference may be so slight that having the versatility of a zoom may outweigh that. Seeing how Nikon could produce an excellent 200-400 f4, I would imagine that Canon with its powess in superteles and use of fluorite would be able to produce a significantly better 200-400. It would however be a bit of comparing apples and oranges as the 200-400 is f4 with an integrated tc. Finally Canon will want your arm or leg for this.
To have that lens, naturally it will cost an arm and a leg, no doubt about it. Its probably the only lens that its meant for serious amateurs and not costing as much as a 400mm f2.8. That would be sharper, am just hoping the 200-400mm would be close to its sharpness. this is getting exciting!
I am sure Canon would be able to delight you with the 200-400 as excellent tele lenses are its forte. Just get the money ready. ;p
actually... i believe the 200-400L will cost more than a 400L...
There are 2 400L. You must mean the bigger one. We just have to wait and see.

You are probably right. As a guide the Nikon 400 f2.8 cost about USD1000 more than the 200-400 f4. So even if you factor in the TC it should still be lesser. But knowing Canon, it will be priced as high as people are willing to pay.

I just got a 70-200L F2.8 IS USM Mk I on Sunday. The images are so sharp, that when I take photos, people around me start to bleed. I have never known such joy taking photos ever in my life. I was practically giggling like a little kid while taking candid shots in my office last night. And I have to say, taking photos of other cars while in another car travelling at 100km/h on the CTE is a good way to test the IS.
I cannot wait to test this lens in a concert next week.

Please post some of your concert shots. Thanks.
As one of the 'official' photographers, not in a million years
Ok lah, any shot that you feel can demonstrate the power of this lens.

70mm, F2.8, 1/25, IS on, ISO1600, 550D.
This shot sorta sold me on this lens. Taken in the front seat of a Subaru Legacy on the CTE. No post processing other than resizing and the rectangle over the plate.
155mm, F2.8, 1/125, IS on, ISO160, 50D.
Makes a great macro lens too.
Downloading the photo to you hard drive will yield a better colour than what Photobucket shows.

Apparently I am wrong, Canon wants both your arm and leg for this.
Guys I rented a 24-70L over the weekend and noticed that the front lens element got bubble-like things when looked through the rear. I don't care much as this is just a rented lens, but I want to know whether that is normal, because I never see that in the lenses I own before. Don't look like fungus or dust, just many circles on the lens element. Is this the "natural aging" process of lenses?:think:
I ask so that I can be mentally prepared if any of my lenses have that in the future

Don't think so. I used to own a 24-105L which is 5 years old, nothing like this.
Hmm, then a bit strange leh, it's definitely not fungus. Haha don't know what is it. it is spread throughout the lens element. Normally fungus only 1 spot with roots, this one no roots. It's ok la, just a little curious cos it's the first time seeing such thing.
