Going going…..
I just received an email in regards to a replacement of the 24-105 f/4L IS. The email says the new lens is slightly wider and longer while retaining the f/4 aperture. The new Hybrid IS will be implemented in the lens.
The writer of the email claims to have seen the lens.
This is the first I've heard of it. I'll ask around.

i think you are wrong on the new IS needing more room – the 100 2.8 is minisculey larger than the older 100 2.8
Bah
Can do without such nonsense. 24-70L is excellent, 24-105 is lighter and ok.
What I want is a small, light 35-90L f4 with perfect optics. I’d upgrade from my 24-70L f2.8 in a heartbeat.
Just noticed mucher said virtually same thing ie. 28-85Lf4.
Canon are you listening?!
28-85/4L can also covers FF cameras, x1.6 it is still a 45-136 and it can be in a lighter package than 24-105/4L as I can believe, so it would be a nice all around lense for almost everyone.
Current and future sensors are so dense and low light performance is and will be so good, there isn’t much point to carry a big piece of metal and glasses for this general purpose range.
Don’t see a reason for a refresh of this lens if the aperture stays the same. It’s a fine, sharp lens with little to improve. The new hybrid IS is of questionable value in a non-macro lens. If Canon really must make a new version of it so be it but I hope that the price will not increase.
