That's the plan!  Well, by then maybe it'll be IDX mark II and 24-70mm mark III IS.  :P

j/k... I will be using my current gear for many more years than that probably...

I am scared to get my 24-70 II because currently my only walk-around lens is f/2.8L 70-200 II.  I really don't want to keep swapping lenses and at the same time I'd need to make a choice to which will be my primary and I absolutely love the 70-200.

I understand your concern.  But I'm thinking the new 24-70 f/2.8L II will be as sharp or nearly as sharp as the 35L and 50L at similar apertures, so maybe this will have a lot of bang for the buck?  We'll see, but I definitely preordered one.

HarryWintergreen:
in the end it's all about IQ. And Canon is ready to provide another stellar zoom lens. To me that's no mean achievement.

Ellen Schmidtee:
Between the 24-105mm f/4 and primes such as 35mm f/2, 50mm f/1.4, & 85mm f/1.8, I'm not really waiting for a 24-70mm f/2.8

If the 24-70mm f/2.8 would have stellar IQ, and the primes are not updated, I might dump the 35mm f/2 & my search for a goof 24mm prime, and buy it.
