    Another zoom? I’m sure it will be optically excellent, and I understand why so many photographers are excited about it. Personally, my...

    Ooooooook, are these lines about the once rumored RF 24-45mm F1.4 L zoom lens? That would give me goose bumps although I´d prefer the F2...

    I agree, a new light weight 24-70mm F2.8 would make sense. Drop IS and pushed the weight below 650gr, improve the mfd and Canon would...

    Ok. Why did you ask why Canon doesn't make something that they do, in fact, make...if you knew about it before you asked the question...

    A RF 24-70mm F2 L with the weight of the current RF 24-70mm F2.8 L would be a sure purchase for me, maybe even a "preorder", depending...

    I wouldn't go nuts because I would never try it! I need a wide field of view for anything in flight and a 2xTC slows down AF too much.

    Why don't I they build something better than kit lenses for those of us who can't spend thousands?
  • neuroanatomist
    Canon math: 10% smaller + 25% lighter = 40% more expensive.

    I would have preferred a new 24-70 f/2.8 L, 10% smaller and 25% lighter than the old one.

    I'm personally much more interested in a Canon RF 20-70 2.8L IS. Keep it the same weight as the 24-70 2.8L IS, and make the corners a...

    As you pointed out before you edited your post (and as CRguy suggested), Sony managed to make a much, much lighter 28-70/2. So I'd say...

    The current 28-70 is 1430g and doesn't have IS. Making it 24mm would add extra weight. The 24-70 is 900g. If they can make the 24-70 F2...

    I suspect that if Canon launches a 24-70/2 VCM, the 24-70/2.8 would remain in the lineup as a 'current' lens.
  • m4ndr4ke
    While a 24-70mm f/2 would be a great lens, I doubt dropping the f/2.8 24-70mm variant would be a good idea. Many users are fine with...

    You were focussing on the lenses of the of the eyes and that's what made your first version a much better photograph, it contrasted and...
