Digital BW, The Print

Yeah I'm sure.  I have been drooling over the 85mm f1.2L, the 135mm f2.0L
and the 180mm f3.5L Macro.  I am really not that happy with my 28-70 f2.8L
(the 100-300 f2.8L is much sharper).  But common sense suggests that the
more practical lens would be to upgrade to the 24-70mm f2.8L. I was really
hoping to hear an announcement re more new lenses.  Another concern I have
is the variability in production of these things.  Seems there are good
units and bad units.  I refuse to pay UK prices for this stuff and so have
typically purchased from B&H or Adorama while visiting NYC.  Makes testing
the individual unit a little difficult.
