Canon lenses discontinued ?.

[Galaxy66]

Is this is old news ?, I have just been browsing the Canon site, and notice from their absence in the listed range that a few lenses must have been discontinued, the 70-200 f4 IS, 70-200 f2.8 IS, 70-300, 24-105 f4 IS and the 70-300 f4-5.6 IS
Probably more, they are just the ones I have noticed missing from the current range.

Sorry if it has already been posted, I did a quick search in the section first.

Its all there just look in IS lens section nothing is discontinued pheeeewwww

 

[Galaxy66]

Never mind Pheeeeewwwww! they have a strange way of listing their products, I navigated from products-lenses, scrolled down to zoom lenses-and if you look in the resulting list they also include IS lenses in that list !!.

What else was I to think!!.

Just well as I would have had a bag full of discontinued lenses

I agree.. it took me ages to understand how it works on their site. a pheeeewww was needed cause i just bought 70-200 IS lens

if they discontinued them lenses it would only be to bring out new versions i would have thought

have been spending on lenses and cameras non-stop for the last 2 years...it would be a bummer if they started to discountinue staff

Who are you kidding, with what you have you will probably never miss it.........unless you have just sold your treasured EF 85mm 1.2.

So?


I must be missing something here.


Isn't the sole purpose of your lenses to take pix? Do they suddenly cease working properly when they reach a certain age?

Nope, they just get senile and think they've been discontinued
