“The 135 L is my favorite lens, and possibly the sharpest DSLR lens made.”

Then you haven’t been paying attention to what the Zeiss 135/1.8 for Sony is doing. There _is_ room for improvement. Not that they’re a world apart, but the Zeiss is better (and a bit faster with 1.8).

I use macro lenses most of the time. I agree that a 180mm or 200mm macro with image stabilization would be a revolutionary lens. Can you imagine how great it would be photograph in the field without having to tote and set up a tripod for every butterfly landing? I think I would pay just about anything for such a weatherproof macro lens.

he said “any kind of optical quality” – the sigma is awful. For a company that can make some really nice primes it amazes me that they never seem to really hit the nail on the head

I’d really like to have a fixed focal length lens with IS. I have little use for the variable focal length of a telephoto zoom, and I don’t want to carry such a heavy 70-200/2.8 beast.

looking back at Northern Lights’ article about Canon’s mid term plans :
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_60D.html

“Canon do not currently have many plans for the non L series primes, with most consumers in that market going for zooms or aspiring to a L series zoom. Given the need to do so much with the rest of the lens range over the next 3-4 years, don’t hold your breath waiting for a a new 50/1.4 or the like.”

I would like it if Canon updated there 28-200 and made a 24-200 3.5-4.5L IS. With the current 5D2 it would be an extreamly usfull lens, especially for Wedding Photography.

why not trying the Tokina 50-150mm instead of waiting for Canon?? I love it!! With my 17-55 f2.8 I am complete!

That 100-400L lens needs an update bigtime, hope they lose the push-pull design and add weather sealing and I would put it back in my collection.

yup, totally agree with you, I don’t see this lens getting any updates for at least a couple of years more, its sharpness will just hurt our eyes, LOL
