Lenses / Post your wishlist for to-be-released lenses

Hi,

This is my list of lenses I wish Canon would develop / release.
And my reasons why.

Canon EF 14-24mm f/2.8 L USM
- Optically it should be on par or better than the legendary Nikon 14-24
- It completes the rest of Canon's great zooms; 14-24, 24-70, 70-200 and 200-400. (way better than the awkward 16-35)

Canon EF 35 f/1.4L II
- mk1 is 14 years old, so it's time for a refresh. i.e. AF CPU to match modern 1dx / 5d3
- Should be a lot lighter than the mk1
- Better MTF outside of center when wide open
- More pleasing bokeh, the mk1 is a bit "nervous"

Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L III
- AF speed
- AF speed
- AF speed.. 
- Not a gram lighter, I want it to stay a massive chunk of glass..

Canon EF 200mm f/2 IS USM II
- Lighter
- Less crazy expensive

Canon EF 300mm f4 L IS II USM
- Latest gen IS
- Better MTF wide open

Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L IS USM
- Latest gen IS
- Better MTF across all apertures

Post your wishlist and let us know why....
