How long after the 16-35/2.8 came out did it take for the 17-35/2.8
to be discontinued ?

I got the same email - WTF? Received my 24-70/2.8L on Friday, and
my brief tests show it to be a great performer. I think B&H
might've made a mistake somewhere...

Got mine Friday also, tested it and used it all day yesterday. I'm
very happy--with my 'discontinued' lens LOL.

Thank you for contacting Canon product support.

The EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM is a current Canon lens and has not been
discontinued. It is still marketed and sold as a new lens model.

Thank you for choosing Canon.

Sincerely,

Jenny
Product Support Representative

How you dare to be happy with an OBSOLETE lens?!? LOL

I probably got a wrong lens... 24-70, not 24-70L... - LOL - that's
why it's so soft (at long end wide open)

Diane, could you please share some pics at 70mm/2.8-4 taken with
your obsolete lense?

thanks - and LOL
