Canon 70-200 mk3

In all honesty I don't think it'll be an f/2 either, just thought I'd throw the idea into the pot................................but it may happen one day! :)

I hope they keep making a non IS 70-200 F4
I still use mine that I bought in 1996 it's an excellent really lightweight lens that's always on my second body
I think I'm right with the date I bought it just after the 350 D body came out

your out by 10 years or so the 350d body was introduced in 2005/6
saying that i have a 300m f4L from the mid 90's still going strong so the lens could very well be from the mid 90's if you bought it used

Ahh I see thanks my maths or memory isn't brilliant :D
I bought the 350D not long after it came out and bought the 70-200 F4 and a sigma 105 macro new not long afterwards :)
Ive still got the body and both lenses and they all still work well
 
horrible thought time.....a 70-200 mkIII ..does this mean it wont be long before canon arn't supporting the mkII ? :(

Probably and the current f4 version. See my first post in this thread #3
 
I struggle to see how Canon can improve the current version, or why they would want to - its an absolutely stellar lens and super, super sharp.

Cant understand the comments on the upgraded 100-400 either. I sold my 70-200 2.8 ii after buying the 100-400 ii as it wasn't easy to justify keeping it around with the 100-400 being such an amazing performer.

Mind you I didnt see the need for the upgrade on the F4 24-105 as that was an awesome piece of kit as it is.. oh well...

As they're still producing it, Tony, then you have at least another 7 years before it's time to worry.
 
Much as I love my 70-200 and wouldn’t replace it, I have always thought the MFD rather long, so perhaps that is something they are addressing.

I agree. Canon introduced the Mk II in 2010 but they supported the Mk I until 2017.
