Canon is really up to something,

if im not mistaken, this is the first time Canon extended their rebate program for another month,… like they really wanted to get those old stuff out.

Also, the news about out-of-stock items… Canon production line isnt just doing nothing there in Japan, they’re doing a lot of things but just cant say what.

Also, the rumors of lots of new stuff for FALL.

piece these all together and there’s definitely some big news coming pretty soon. I would hold on to my wallet right now and WAIT!!!.

EF-S 16-105. I would rather it was 18-105. 16mm a bit to wide for a zoom barrel distortion will be huge.

Canon EF 10-400mm f1.4 L USM Fish Eye, 77mm diameter, 12 diaphragm blade. Only 2500 US$.
This is every photographer`s dream. Real super weapon.
When it released? only God knows.:)

not so sure, maybe a 28-70 f/2.8 IS though
might be a bit less expensive, a bit lighter and have a bit higher image quality

Amazon is out of stock on a lot of lenses right now (some of the 3rd party vendors have them, but not amazon).. I don’t know, Canon rebates, out of stock… maybe we are getting an upgraded 24-70. This lens would be a monster upgrade over my xsi kit 18-55 which is always missing the 15mm when I need it.

That would be relly cool and fit to the 70-200 f4/2.8

That would be the ultimate standard zoom lens

I’d carry less water before I’d leave my 24-70 behind on a hike ;) but I dont do hard core hiking, mostly day hikes from a camp ground. If I was a hard core hiker/camper/nature shooter I’d be buying a K-7 with the 16-50 2.8 and 60-250 4.0 for a compact weather sealed system with built in HDR, 720p HD, 5.2 fps drive, and solid 15 MP stills.

I am waiting for the new 24-70 too. 24-70L is too old. Nikon and Sony have released their 24-70 lens last year. Canon has to do something.

The 24-70 is already huge, so for the extra reach and less times I have to switch to the 70-200 I’d take a bigger lens, no problem – bigger & heavier & more $$$ just for IS on a 24-70? PASS
