Anyone know if they still make this?

[blackwaterstudio]

I was looking around on the net and ran across this lens. I would imagin if they do it would be very expensive. But it would be great for low light, sports , indoor shooting :)

Canon EF 200mm f / 1.8L Ultrasonic?

[luckyrwe]

It is out of production sorry to say. So is the 50/1.0. The 85/1.2 is still in production however.

Kinda figured it would be. Did they replace it with the 70-200L f/2.8?

they do not make it, but they come up for sale every so often.

i wan't one so bad that i'd give harry's right arm to have one.

I did see a price list for one, $9500 :eek1:yikes

The 200/1.8 is on a popular auction site regularly for about $3K. The seller is in Korea and he has great feedback. I myself worry about such transactions whee I can't drive/fly to the seller in case of error.

Personally I think I want the 300/2.8 for the IS in it. The 200/1.8 is in a class by itself, nothing as good has been seen before, or since.

The 1.8 would have been great for Hockey shots. But I think I'm gonna shoot for the 70-200L f/2.8

I would like to go higher on the mm but someone said 400mm would be overkill on a hocky rink.

[luckyrwe]

I have a 70-200/2.8L I am selling to get the IS version. I have the 400mm too. I agree, the 70-200 will be best on the hockey rink. Or maybe one body with a 100mm and another with a 200mm.

Shoot me a PM on how much for your 2.8

[Andy]

here's a 200mm f/1.8 for sale on fm (http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/164386) a bit dear though. i have seen them going for $3k as well.

lucky, if you are selling, you should list your lens in the buy/sell forum here, too!

I would like to see Canon bring back the 200/1.8 in a new IS version someday soon. That would be an awesome lens, especially with the digital cameras focal multipliers. We can only hope.

Supposing one of these existed, imagine how *small* and *handholdable* it would be! :-)

Patch29, I'd like to see an IS 200/1.8 too. Heck how about a flat rate income tax to go with it. :>

I am in on both counts. Nikon did release a 200/2.0 VR lens last year, we can only hope Canon will do the same.

[Andy]

right here, and it's only $5,000 (http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/164180) :yikes http://williams.smugmug.com/photos/11389300-Ti.gif http://williams.smugmug.com/photos/11389300-Ti.gif

interesting discussion here (http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/164836/0) on the price of this lens.

[dkapp]

Nikon just released a similar lens earlier this year. Its a 200mm f/2 VR. It's a steal at $4,000 new :D
