The most pre-ordered lens (from last week’s announcements) is surprisingly the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM. Several retailers are reporting a higher than expected number of pre-orders placed. Impressively, Canon’s managed to make this new lens almost 2 pounds (22%) lighter than its predecessor.
With a delivery date already pushed into December, we are predicting that supply of this lens will be limited. If you want to receive the lens shortly after release, we recommend a pre-order.
The new lens release has also increased interest in our street price of $10399.00 on the older Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM. Still a great lens and a $2600 savings over the new release. We don’t expect the price on the old lens will decrease, even with the introduction of the new lens.
