Anyone out there planning to buy the lens to test...then sell? I would greatly appreciate buying the lens from you at a substantially lower price. I have first dibs. Donations are accepted too. It would really help me out.

Any takers?

I'm really excited to see what this lens can do. Bring it on Baby!!!

Why'd they update this lens anyways? I've always found my 24L to be a solid performer...

You might as well toss in a request for 1Ds3 donations too!

There seem to be plenty of reviews complaining about edge softness on the previous 24L. Also, Canon has developed a new lens coating that cuts down on flare, and chose a wide-angle lens to introduce it on.

There are also plenty of reviews complaining about FM'ers complaining about everything under the sun. Perhaps we should develop a new FM'er? Or at least a new coating for them reducing their tendancy to flare at the introduction of new equipment.

I'll sell you my 24L mk1 for $1200... that's $500 off of the new model, which is going to be unreliable since anything that comes in the "first batch" has a 99% chance of malfunctioning.

Like all FM/Ebay sellers, I promise you my lens has only been used "once or twice" and is in absolutely new condition!

The Distagon doesn't have auto-focus right?

No, it doesn't. It has focus confirmation and auto-aperture.
