Coming?
I don't think it is, nor I have heard it could be coming. The current one will be getting a big discount in 5D2 kits. The 17-85 has a big discount in kits and it has yet to be replaced so I wouldn't read into that.

No way, CR0
There is so much more to do on other lenses before renewing this one… sounds weird but it’s not the first time I hear about it. Maybe the same source.
the only ‘news’ I want to hear about this lens is that Canon will be making an F2.8 version and changing the focal length to 17-100mm with a 5 stop IS.
Is that really too much to ask? Oh, it is? Oh well :)
As it is, it’s such a ‘nearly’ lens in every respect, I found it very difficult to work with at times…so I gave up and sold it!
I really like mine as a walk around lens for my 40D.
For a full frame camera, the story might be different, there tends to be a lens to lens difference on zooms, so I’ll just wait for my 5D II and see how this particular copy does.
sometimes if you have nothing to post, it is better just to leave like that. or be more creative than that.
Please Canon, instead of a 24-105 mark II which sounds strange ([CR0] ?), just develop a REAL good EF-S 17-85 f4 IS … a sort of 17-85 mark II indeed …
I guess the market is ready for such a lens …
The fact that there has never been a mark II of an IS lens does not add any credibility to this rumor CR0.5
More like 24-140mm or 24-150mm f/4, 5 IS stop is more like it especially the price they charge. Start making good lenses that aren’t too expensive canon.
Canon might think about serving its professional base by giving us a 24-70 IS. I often opt for my 40D (now 50D) in low light weddings because of the 17-55 2.8 IS lens. I would like the equivalent on a 5DMKII.
Maybe what’s really coming is a new 24-105 L 2.8 !!!!!!
Completely agree with oscar. This is obviously bullshit (or simply a mistake on the site…).
But it can be desastrous for people selling the current lens cause buyers will wait for a product which will never exist.
CR used to be more serious about “rumors”.
I am really disappointed.
