New Source
I’m told to expect a new 70-200 f/2.8L IS to be announced with the 1D Mark V (Skipping IV?).

Lenses have generally been very tough to track down with Canon. The only real success we’ve had was with the 7D.

The new source says to expect 1 other lens to be announced with it. Availability in the distant future.
