Amazon says so
If you check the following link, you’ll see the 35L as being “discontinued by manufacturer”.

The worst kept secret in the world of Canon lenses is that the 35L would see a replacement.
Thanks Sean

I brought it up. But I didn’t say it was a rumor. I just said I hoped it would be 1.2 so we’d have a 1.2 in 35, 50 and 85.
allright, still so many people start talking about as if it was a rumor.
i really doubt this F1.2 will become true, the lens would be huge and very very expensive!
The 50 & 85 1.2’s are huge, but then so is the 24-70 2.8, I’m sure it would be similar in size to the existing 1.2’s, and priced in line with them as well. Like having 4 TS-E lenses, a full line up of 1.2 L’s could help keep Canon’s lens line on top of the rest.
and the price “lowered”….
FYI it said discontinued on amazon at least as far back as April 2008, that’s when I was looking to buy one. At that time their website said the 24L was discontinued too, but that was months before it actually got discontinued. I finally purchased the 35L in August 08, and since it had a current date code, I figured it was just amazon.com’s error. I wouldn’t base my beliefs off of what amazon says.
