![24 70mm F2.8 L 1024x675 - Lens Announcement [CR1]](https://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/24-70mm_F2.8_L-1024x675.jpg "Lens Announcement [CR1]")
Lenses coming soon?
Received some information today that pointed to possible lens announcements in January, possibly on the 3rd.
This is plausible, because CES/PMA starts on January 10, 2012. This would also go in line with the staggered lens/body announcements we've seen in the past with pro bodies. The 1D Mark IV was announced in October, and the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II came at the beginning of the following January.
Lenses mentioned were the EF 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4x, 24-70 f/2.8L II and 35 f/1.4L II.
A few other pieces of information have said Canon will be updating a lot of current lenses in the next 24 months, I'd rank this as pretty tentative for the moment. Lenses are always difficult to predict and I'm not sure we really know the whole story about Canon's production abilities in Japan.
