it may be the most popular but are they making something better to take its place
 
I would think it's a very poor selling item now as most people would buy the newer IS version. Also I'm fairly sure it's been a discontinued product in the UK for a few years now according Canon catalogues.
 
THERE`S NOTHING IN THE CANON WEBSITE, SO MAYBE JUST GETTING RID OF STOCK BECAUSE IT`S DEAD MONEY?
 
Thats still expensive for the non IS version :shrug:
 
got me scared there was planning in getting the Is version in January!

Calm down.

Lots of retailers don't stock it. I don't know why. But nothing's changed there.

As for 7dayshop selling them "cheap" - someone's having a laugh here. I've got 4 of these lenses, all bought this year, and I haven't paid more than £763 for any of them. If 7dayshop's £879 is "below cost price" then their buyer should be sacked.
 
I agree, they're probably the lowest selling 70-200L lens about, because if you can afford the f2.8, you're going to be able to spend that little more for the IS. Or drop down to the F4IS.
