Do you have any other ideas about that scheme? Harry, it’s a lens with 21 elements as I see. Do you have any other ideas about that scheme?

They refer to zoom lenses! Could be any one! How did you come to the conclusions about the 70-200 for example!!! Where is it mentioned? These are patents!

I'm basing that on the scale diagram - the rear elements of the lens appear to be similarly far from the image plane (IP) as the other patent diagrams. That would mean this lens does not have a short back focus and is not an EF-S lens. It does appear to be an EF lens, not EF-S.

It is really superb. Canon should not waist any more time to loose market share on lenses like this. Another perfect lens is the AF-S 200-400 4G ED VR. There again is no adequate Canon alternative, the EF 100-400 4,5-5,6L can´t hold a candle against the Nikkor. The rest of the premier lineup is more or less the equivalent like the 24-70 and the 70-200. But with those two lenses mentioned above Canon really has to fill a gap. I´m considering to make the move to Nikon. Not only because of the lenses, but also because of the cameras. The EOS 5D II has a poor AF, the 1D IV is not a full format, also the 7D which is a fine camera by the way and the 1Ds IV will be very expensive... Nikon will redo their D700 soon and then there will be no real competitor from Canon. They´ll have to bring out a 3D.

The 14mm f/2.8L II is a mighty fine optic, and I've always got my 24-105L with me anyway, as I imagine most folks would (or a 24-70L).

I admit...I'm just hungry for some rumors (and am a bit disappointed that there wasn't a filing for a 24-70 IS).
