I don't think Canon's in any great hurry to replace the 85L so I'd say go ahead and buy it.

If they however update it they will run into some serious pricing issues-

for a non super tele - where its now is the absolute limit

The price on the 5D III has dropped almost 500 Euro in a year

which should be a good indicator that Canon can't keep up this madness

They're asking $2000 for a 2.8 standard zoom without IS, aprox $1000 more than the lens it replaced. I think they can easily go to $3000 for the 85 Mk3.
