Cashback from Canon Australia brings the price down to $1935.20
Cheapest price around I believe; cheaper than US and grey stock pricing.
I picked up the lens myself last week off their actual online store when they had 15% off + 6% Cashrewards cashback for a few dollars cheaper.
Cashback approval was super quick from Canon; submitted it very late last night and got email notification that it was approved first thing this morning.
Haven't really had the chance to test the lens properly myself due to work and weather and I was originally very hesitant to upgrade from my trusty EF 16-35mm f/4L IS because of the need for correction to fix up mechanical vignette and distortion issues but decided to get it after mucking around with someone else's RAW file and I have to admit it does look good. That and having the flexibility of 14mm (actually a little wider even after correction) in a zoom, being able to use traditional filters and not having to use an adapter made me take the leap. Quick tests shooting around the house does show the lens to be very sharp with very straight lines after in camera or Lightroom lens profile correction.
