|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Canon 400 f/2.8L II Availability? Denny Kyser, Photographer Russell | Pa. | United States of America | Posted: 1:19 PM on 07.09.11 ->> I sold my 400 2.8L early spring expecting this lens to be out early summer and did not want to wait until the market was flooded with them to sell. (it was still under warranty) Now looks like many are holding above retail on hard to get items like the 300 2.8 IS and who knows when it will actually get here. Thinking I made a mistake, but need to make sure before fall I have either version 1 or 2. I am also not 100% sure I want to pick up a new version so close to football season with out it being out for a while. I also am not ready to spend that much more to save a little weight. I have never watched the market when these big lenses are updated, should I pick up another 400 2.8L IS soon, or wait and see if the prices drop when the new version is released. Besides not selling the 400 in the first place, any opinions.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Here's a link to it. They say August for the new one. http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1306340517.html  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
