Peter, I think you mean the EF 24 2.8 IS USM is currently $630 at Amazon.
Since the OP is intending on using this lens on a 5D3, do you think the new 35 will achieve higher focus accuracy with the 5D3 than the older 35 f2 (a Group A lens)? I\'ve read that the 5D3 can take advantage of some of the newer lenses (like the 24-70 2.8 II) to achieve better results. One of the reasons this lens is attractive to me is for close focus, shallow DOF which will require accurate off center focus, the 5D3\'s forte. How well suited do you folks think these new IS primes will be for this?
