New Lens on December 6, 2011? [CR1]

[hambergler]

24-70 F2.8 IS or 14-24 F2.8 would make my day

the other thing is even if they announce a new lens when will the lens actually be available they already announced delays to the previously announced long lenses...

Maybe it's a pancake lens or something similar with only 5 elements that they can produce quickly and cheaply, just so they can say, "Hey, look, we don't delay every lens, just the ones you actually want"

Hopefully 24-70 F2.8 IS

It will be the new 24-70 IS.  Bet the house on it.  Want to know why? Because I just ordered the original from B&H.    Grrrrrr  And, that means it will be a superb, transformative lens that will instantly drop the value of the one that I will have had for a week by a significant amount.  LOL

It could be a new EF-S standard prime lens as well, because I've just switched to FF  ... like fast 28mm

I would be awesome if it was the 24-70 f/2.8 IS!

[EELinneman]

ecka,

If it is the fast efs lens, I'll buy you the first round.  We just need to find a bar close by one of us!

+1, this would make a killer video lens!

[niccyboy]

a 12mm-600mm f1.2 IS Macro L series lens with built in gyro and tripod and automatically packs itself up and cleans itself... oh and transforms into a coffee machine.

I'll bet my house on it

We'll see ... , only 2 days left.

OMG this is today....6 December
So where's my 24-70 f/2.8 MkII?
Gimme!

Wouldn't that be a welcome Christmas present?

yeah announce it already!

[photophreek]

If the fabled December 6th lens was a reality, we would have heard by now and the CR guy would have told us about a press conference to announce "the lens" by now (probably the weekend b/4).  Looks like no lens announcement.  I hope nobody sold their 24-70 (or whatever) in anticipation of getting whatever.

well it's 10:48 in Australia (the parts that matter, anyway), and there's nothing on any of the english-language sites in this half of the world (.au, .sg, .hk, .nz) as of yet. Might happen later, but i'm still calling cr0
