Is it possible that this lens is available in Hong Kong as my boss is there at the moment and he said he can get it?? Not sure if i should be excited or skeptical!

He's talking the "IS" version the new one-- I personally dont thinks its worth the extra $$ over the Non IS version, heck, you can almsot get the 70-200 F/2.8 non "IS" for the same price.. well an extra couple 100..

yeah I was just reading that and im thinking the IS and smaller size might be worth more to me than the extra stop and a bit, as a cant afford the 2.8 is!

| If the extra 600 bucks is worth it to you to avoid paying 150 for the tripod mount and lugging at ripod around, go for it. IS is hella nice, but doubel the cost of the lense? Hmm. |

Hmm that's too expensive for just adding an IS to that lens.

Well, it's a $650 increase over the non-IS model. That's about the same difference between the 70-200 f/2.8L ($1140) and the f/2.8L IS ($1700) (difference of $560) also.

I agree thats why I ended up going for the non IS. As I am just building my lens collection I can do a lot with that extra saving.
