Deal Details
I'm a Nikon shooter and don't follow aCanon lenses closely, but this seems to be about $350 cheaper than I could find elsewhere. There appear to be newer versions of this lens, but this is a great place to start if you're building out a Canon kit. Requires a Prime membership.

Not a bad price per-se, but take note that this is the Canon EF-L 70-200 2.8 IS "mark I" lens. This lens has been "replaced" as Canon's flagship L fast telephoto with the Mark II in Jan 2010...that is almost 12 years ago, and there has been a Mark III that was improving upon the II, and now an RF 70-200 f/2.8 version that trumps them all, especially in the Image Stabilization area, but also IQ (mostly aberations)

That said, I think the biggest jump in IQ and mainrly sharpness, was from the Mark I to the Mark II.

With all the above in mind, this is not a OMFG deal: it is old stock they are trying to clean the shelves from. Again, not a bad deal necesserily, but would rather pay a bit more and get at a minimum the Mark II.

My 2c.

Pretty good price. Would have jumped on this before the new mount was announced. I'm definitely not spending $1,000 on a already old system though.

This has no IS. It is gray market, that's why its cheaper.

Oh, even worse then as a deal (just like my reading comprehension).

If it feels any better, I suffered the same mix-up when I read this thread (owner of the IS mark I model).
