We’re told that the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II replacement, is in the hands of select test photographers and should be announced some time in 2016. We’ve heard a few times that the lens may change slightly in focal length, but we can’t confirm that via a patent or person.

We receive little bits of information at a time in regards to this lens, but signs are pointing to it being the next L zoom that Canon releases. We suspect it’ll come some time around the EOS 5D Mark IV announcement, as it is generally considered a wide angle zoom event lens, though it does crossover into other uses.
