Re: Why the 24-70 / 2.8L II does not have IS.

I've no idea. They put IS on the 16-36 f/4L IS and the 70-200 lenses and even the f/4 version, but didn't on this flagship mid-range zoom. I suspect it must have something to do with keeping the optics insanely sharp at a relatively fast f/2.8 speed. Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about . . .
