<p>A patent showing another crazy superzoom has appeared, this time the optical  formula is for an EF  28-560mm f/2.8-5.6L USM. We’d  assume such a lens would also have IS if it ever came to market. We expected to see a non-L superzoom sometime in 2016, but that has apparently been put off until late 2017 at the earliest.</p>
<p>Patent Publication No. 2016-142795</p>
<ul>
<li>Published 2016.8.8</li>
<li>Filing date 2015.1.30</li>
<li>Zoom ratio 18.86</li>
<li>Focal length 28.80 119.57 543.20</li>
<li>F-number 2.88 4.56 5.88</li>
<li>Half angle of view (degrees) 36.91 10.26 2.28</li>
<li>Image height 21.64 21.64 21.64</li>
<li>The total lens length 281.07 331.07 385.01</li>
<li>BF 53.05 61.31 40.00</li>
<li>The effective diameter of the front lens 120.00</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m not sure this is a superzoom we’re likely to see, but all indications point to Canon definitely developing a replacement for the EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS.</p>

<p>Martin Bailey has completed what is likely the first review of the brand new Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-4000, a new 44″ printer from Canon. We’ve seen reviews of both the <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/review-canon-imageprograf-pro-1000/">imagePROGRAF Pro-1000</a> and <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/review-canon-imageprograf-pro-2000/">imagePROGRAF Pro-2000</a> from Keith at Northlight Images which have shown these to be the best printers Canon has ever made and it looks like the Pro-4000 will fall into the same category.</p>
<p>Martin writes about one of the great features of the Pro-4000</p>
<blockquote><p>Another great improvement in my opinion is the ability to now choose from three sizes of ink tanks, with 160ml, 330ml, and 700ml tanks available. My old iPF6350 took 130ml ink tanks, so even the smallest of the new tanks holds 30ml more ink. I could fill up the new PRO-4000 with 160ml tanks, but now having the option to install larger tanks, and mix and match the sizes, means we can select the tank size based on how quickly the inks run down. <a href="https://www.martinbaileyphotography.com/2016/08/15/canon-imageprograf-pro-4000-printer-review-podcast-536/">Read the full review</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I’ll still be going with a Pro-2000, as I don’t need a crane to get into my house.</p>

</em><strong>A different source has added new specifications. We’re pretty confident in their validity.</strong></p>
<p>Below is the latest we’ve been told about the upcoming Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. I would be inclined to put a [CR3] on this, but I will wait for further confirmations.</p>
