Canon Lenses x2

[Venomator]

Coinciding the launch of the (revamped 20D ?) is the launch of two new lenses;

a quite respectably (?) fast EF 85mm - f/1.2 L II USM @ £1,629.99 :shock: (April) and an EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM @ £869.99 (June) !

Whatever the designations mean ... all foreign gobbledy gook to me ! :dizzy:

Sorry if someone has already broken the news ... did a quick search and didn't see ! :Ponders:

Have fun ... :getmecoat

Think these were annouced in the same thread as the 30D.

The 17-55 is a good concept giving it a fast aperture and IS but at that price for no L grade glass:( - think I would prefer the 24-70 2.8 L, or perhaps a 24-105 4 IS L & 17-40 4 L for a little extra.

Indeed they were - missed that on searching ... silly me !

Cancel my last please ... Sorry to repeat !
