Canon Struggles to Meet Demands for New EF 70-200 Lens

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.

For more details about this lens check out my previous post “The Best Just Got Better – Canon’s Second Generation EF 70-200mm f/2.8L Lens“.

March 11, 2010 – By now you’ve probably seen the pictures of the Canon L Lens thermal mug going around the internet. It looks like this was a promotional item for Canon of Canada (I’m guessing for the Olympics). Well it looks like the fabled Canon thermal mug will become a reality for the rest of us. Vistek out of Canada, will sell the mugs for $29.99 and the estimated release date is April 16, 2010. You can pre-0rder yours now by visiting the Vistek store.

UPDATE 1: Wow I didn’t even get the post released and the mugs have already sold out from the Vistek store, bummer!

UPDATE 2: Ok I just found a link to another site selling the mugs. Check out Henrys.ca and if you want one pre-order it quick before they’re gone.

UPDATE 3: Well if you didn’t get in on Henrys.ca’s lot of mugs, I think you missed out. The above link gives you an error page now so I think the pre-orders are closed out.
