    If they rely on digital correction, then I'm tapping out and sticking with the existing 28-70. Canon seem to be the only manufacturer...
  • ashmadux
    Sounds pretty awesome. $6000, glass doesn't cover the image circle so the edges are going to be +4 to normalize and everyone will say...

    I use my 28-70 f/2 a fair amount, but i am not sure i am ready to try to replace it. wonder what the delta cost would be? Adorama has...

    Oh, a 24-70 F2 would be fantastic. The 28-70 F2 is by far the most used lens on my R5 II (and R5 before that). Yes, it is on the heavy...

    Part of Canon’s commitment to the environment.

    I can't wait for the RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 mark ii, made from recycled plastic bags.

    Whats needed in a super zoom that is not available? There seem to be way bigger gaps on the RX100 style camera side.

    It can keep doing this job with much better image quality. Take it to a $300 price point and bring the optical design into the 21st...

    Make it a 35-85/2L and I'd seriously consider leaving Sony for Canon (again)
  • Skux
    If they do this then it'll instantly replace my 28-70 f/2 which just isn't wide enough sometimes
  • trexphotos
    Oh my "Yes Please" I have this Lens and absolutely detest the Sony body I had to get to use it. Love Sony glass, hate their bodies.

    Certainly! The f/2 version will be- far? - more expensive, the price difference alone would justify keeping the f/2,8 24-70 in production.
  • sanj
    Sounds good. I feel that there will be 2.8 version with the new tech to create a lighter, sharper 2.8 version (than the existing one).

    You mean, where´s your 600/4+1.4&2.0 TC :)
  • K
    Craig got the smoke right, but forgot the mirrors ;-) But seriously, it would really need to have just stunning optical performance to...
  • neuroanatomist
    So many possibilities to be covered by 6-8 lenses per year, at most. Meanwhile, where's my 600/4 + 1.4x? ;)
  • Rceres
    Another zoom? I’m sure it will be optically excellent, and I understand why so many photographers are excited about it. Personally, my...
  • Exploreshootshare
    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...
  • Exploreshootshare
    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...
  • neuroanatomist
    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...
  • Exploreshootshare
    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...
