Oly 75-300 Mk II in March

If you paid $900 just a few weeks ago and can wait for the new lens why not make a return? The wait will save you $350. In addition, the cost of the old lens should drop should you want to re-buy it, Maybe, just a guess.

I remember when Nikon sort of did the same thing. They had a 75-300 push/pull zoom lens that was AF and cost about that same $900. It was replaced with a 70-300 D AF lens when the "D" technology or distance technology was new and that replacement was about $300 if I recall.
