At least that's what Canon say on their website: "Due to a high demand of the EF 300mm f/4L IS USM and the EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM" they have prolonged the extrapromotion in Europe.
See here http://www.canonextrapromotion.com/intro.aspx and have a look at the remarks about the availability of the two lenses mentioned above...

This might explain why Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara is sold out of 10 or so Canon EF lens at the moment without having reordered stock. I was thinking, it can't be because Canon is actually replacing all of them...but one never knows...

You are kidding? Right... Tried one in the store and my DO flies circles around it.

That is the first I have heard. Everything posted so far has indicated it is a match for the L's in the sharpness contrast department... so naturally I assumed that meant (the DO was out of contention and) it was a winner. I have no personal experience with the lens though, only the overwhelmingly positive feedback from these forums... and I have never shot with the DO either for that matter.

I can't see Canon releasing 'L' glass that won't fit it's pro bodies. The 5D makes this sort of move even less likely.
Do you think that DRebel users would rush out and buy this? I expect it would probably go for almost twice the current price of the f1.4.
Also, the AF on the EF-S bodies is probably not ideal for such limited DOF.

Well ... I'd disagree. Plenty of people in Japan can read English well
enough.
Of the four, reading, writing, speaking, and understanding spoken
English ... reading is the easiest.
Or somebody reads it here, then posts the rumour in Japanese in
a japanese forum.

There was buzz a while back of a step-up mid-zoom for the EF-S ... ala Nikkor's DX 17-55/2.8
That rumour dead?

A while back, I think it was just before the 10D was announced, I saw a thread start in these forums. It started as a wish list. People added to it. 2 months later these specifications appeared as gospel on another (European, but I can't remember what specific country) website complete with images of the forthcoming camera. That was the 3D in Dec of 2002. I don't mean it was like the recent rumors of a 3D, but rather it was literally called the 3D, both on our wish list and on the web site proclaiming its coming.
Needless to say that camera did not ever come out, or rather, it did not until the 5D as the 5D is pretty close to a lot of that speculation.
Rumors feeding rumors is a very real phenomenon, even when the points of rumor are physically and linguistically separated.

Your comments are laughable.
So I guess you've compared the 70-300 head-to-head with at least one L? Because several others have shown such comparisons, and while the L's generally (not always) win, it ain't by any large margin.
Not since you asked about it!

By that thinking the 85mm f1.2L would not exist.
A 50mm on a 1.6 crop is equivalent to a 80mm on a full frame lens.
A EOS 20D user would use a 50mm f1.2 EF-S for the same reasons
a full frame user would use the 85mm f1.2 EF -- that is, it is an ideal
environmental (no flash) portrait lens. A 50mm EF-S 1.2L would be
lighter, smaller, and would cost less than a full frame version.

True enough. The 70-200/2.8 IS is pretty much already perfect, the only way to improve it really would be to give it away for free!
An IS version of the 70-200/4 IS would be very welcome though. Would be a killer travel lens!
Cheers

I'm thinking it is about time we see another DO lense.
I like the idea of a 50/1.2L lense. I don't like how slow my 50/1.8mkI focuses. I do like it's image quality at f2.8 and above. It is perfect across the board, but it is to slow focusing for action.
A 200/1.8L IS would also be a nice lense. I wonder if they would do that as a DO lense?
