Lots of lenses mentioned
I received what appears to be some kind of lens roadmap. I only ever remember seeing a communication like this one once in the past. There are definitely some interesting concepts listed. Take all of this with the grain of salt.
- EF 50 1.8 IS, status “prototype”, has tag “spring 2013”
- EF 50 2.5 macro was tagged with “to be replaced”
- EF 200 2.8 L IS macro is tagged with “testing”, “patents pending”, and “autumn 2013”
- EF 24-70 2.8 L II tagged “final”, “winter 2011”
- EF 100-400 4-5.6 L IS tagged “final”, “autumn 2012”
- EF 35 1.4 L II tagged “prototype”, “winter 2012”
- EF 60 L IS lens tagged “prototype”
Some odd duck EF-S zooms
- EF-S 20-65 IS
- EF-S 45-105 IS status “development”
- EF-S 55-70 IS “testing”
- EF-S 70-400 IS “prototype”
The one that seems the most interesting above is the EF 50 f/1.8 IS. That could become a replacement to the 50 f/1.4 and put some separation between it and the 50 f/1.2L.
