Probably the price drop is because the 24-105II F2.8 IS will be $1099 it should arrive next week.
Also come with a free B&W Cir.pol, ND and UV filters
or not ;-)
Dammed good lens anyway.Excellent price, hopefully you won't get the up-sell call.
Haha... kinda like the 24-70mm f/2.8L IS II?

i was really hoping to get the X100, but oh well. next gen...
That I agree with you. Hell, they could've at the very least included a scratch-resistant sapphire LCD display on the M9 for $7k. The high-ISO performance is lacking, but you are able to focus well in nearly no light, which you wouldn't be able to do on any dSLR.

They are releasing a new Leica M9-P camera later today, but from what I hear there are only cosmetic adjustments and a new LCD display for even more $$$.

I think Kevin meant it as a joke... I'm sure the MK II of this lens will come with the 5D3, which isn't being announced or released any time soon.
