March 20, 2010 – Canon Japan announced that they are struggling to meet the demands for the new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens that was announced at the beginning of the year. The previous model has proved to be a staple for many professional photographers and based on the demand, the updated version should prove to be the same. Although they announced a shortage, you can still find the lens online for around $2499.
