Does anyone know when this lens might be available and how much it will cost?

All rumor at this point, haven't seen anything concrete about availability. But if the past is any indication, it may be awhile. When they announced their 80-400 EX OS APO lens at Photokina 2002 (their other OS lens), it took over 8 months to arrive :( Hopefully, things have sped up a bit in 4 years.

Well, then the rumor has an odd source:

But thanks. That probably answers the question. Sounds like it'll be at least a little while.
 
i can't believe the only lens i like and think fits my need for general usage lens is one that's not available... there gotta be more

i want a one with some, doesn't have to have a lot zoom... 18-50mm is fine, or something in that rage
one that can shoot at f/2.8 thru out the range
one that has relatively small minimum focus distance, around .3, lower the better
one that's not more than $500... am i asking too much?

All rumor with regards to pricing and availability, not that the lens was announced :cool:

The range of prices has been guessed at anywhere between $500 and $800.
