Found this on FM, intersting. I was in the market for the 35L, however after looking at the current status of lens prices - it may be best to wait for a while. I noticed that most lenses are up to 20% more expensive than they were just a year ago. I got my 70-200 L 2.8 IS for $1649.99 at BH, the same lens is now $1,949.95. I got my 24-7- L for $1199.00 and it is now $1,379.95 at BH. The 35L is now $1399 and has been around $1199 in the recent past. Depressing. I am sure that lower demand due to less people buying and production cuts (less stock available) have hit camera lenses from both sides of the supply and demand equation. I hope things recover and prices return to "normal".
