135 mm IS anywhere?

[nvsravank]

Is the venerable 135mm being replaced with an IS version? Any word on its replacement? Is a replacement even needed other than to take more of our money?

I seriously want a 135 f/1.8L IS.

Of course they will make this. Because I just bought a 135L

Sorry to be the Grinch, but no chance of that anytime soon or even midterm.

Because in terms of satisfaction this lens sits at the tippy-top even in its current form. And Canon has a long long list of must-do things before they start to tinker with things that are highly regarded for both quality and value for the price.

As for IS, as I said earlier in a 135L thread, "Why paint the peacock?"

Merry Christmas!

You speak the truth. I just recently rented this lens. Sending it back was very, very difficult. It's now at the top of my list.
