EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM

Canon has released an announcement confirming the release of the rumoured EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM.

The new model has apparently improved optics, a reduced minimum focusing distance of 1.2m, improved magnification (0.21x) and updated Image Stabilisation, allowing a reduction in four stops in shutter speed. Further ergonomic improvements have been made to switches and the lens focusing ring and a small 20g reduction in weight has been achieved.

It is expected to be released in February 2010, but stock will most likely arrive about mid April 2010. RRP is yet to be determined.
