I was informed this lens was going to be discontinued back in July, with a replacement, when I got mine for $940.

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...

Sounds like they made a mistake.

Canon still shows the 28-70/2.8 on their lens lineup at the website, along with the 24-70/2.8

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

I found the mistake, it was actually the Old Canon AE-1 that was discontinued and only in Iraq.......Those Darn B&H computers!

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

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

...timeless, ordered, simply stated, or even implied...
 
B&H meant the 28-70L has been discontinued not the 24-70L. It's just a glitch.

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.

Thanks, that's soothing... I was going to drink a herbal tea, as Lee often suggests LOL

Mishkin, I will have to take some this week--not sure what I took yesterday--and I have processed most of them. However, I will do that for you soon.
