So anyone with a 1D series is a moron if they use a 14-24...
Rrrright, what other choice is there for 1.3x?

Why are people so convinced that the 60mm macro will get an update with I/S?

I'd suggest a 7D. No risk of buyer's remorse there.

If we only get three lenses, I hoping 60mm macro is NOT one of them. (Already have the 100mm). I suppose it might be an "easy" upgrade for Canon if it's an EF-S lens – Add IS and call it good. But, not sure of the demand.
Then again, I'm not sure why they needed four tilt-shift lenses either.
Can't really get too excited about any of the lenses that are surfacing in the rumors. Maybe good news for my checkbook, even if doesn't feed my addiction.
ronderick said:As for TS-E lens, they serve the niche market of architecture and landscape photography. While the general public may not see a need for these specialized primes, it makes life a lot easier for those who makes a living out of these fields (right now there's probably no competitor for the 17mm TSE).

1. A new kit lens with a new body, say the 60D or 1Ds mk IV. Canon announced new bodies regularily, and has announced - on average over the last decade - one kit lens per year.
2. New TS-E 45mm & 90mm. Considering the TS-E 17mm & 24mm were announced 18 months ago, I think Canon would announce new TS-E 45mm & 90mm before the end of 2011.
3. Primes. I'll put my money on something like a new EF 180mm f/2 Macro H-IS USM, or EF 28mm f/1.4L USM.
It's been suggested that it might be EF.. and the patent-drawings seems to have a relatively wide back element.. might just be inaccurate drawings of course..Isurus said:EF-S limitation (can't mount to FF)

i would love more primes, because i love my fast lenses, but those sound highly unlikely. the 180 will not get 1 2/3 stops faster all at once (though it would be awesome) and a 28 is too close to the 24. I hope the 24-105 goes to 2.8, or some zoom lens gets a constant f/2. my viewfinder is just too spoiled by f/1.4 to settle for an f/4 zoom, no matter how sharp it is.

It may be coming... 35mm f/2 (imported) is "Temporarily unavailable" at B&H:nocojoe said:I am excited to see the 35 1.8 and how it holds up. I hope it will be a good lens, something that I can put on my 5d classic and take some really cool lowlight pictures.

drummstikk said:Nobody has mentioned the stupidest thing about this lens. It's not the variable aperture. It's not the slow f/5.6 at the 300mm end of the range. And it's not the salty price.
It's the zoom ring out in FRONT of the focus ring, the opposite of any other lens in the Canon line (that I know of, correct me if I'm wrong). Imagine going back and forth between, say, a 24-105 f/4.0 and this lens. You'd go to zoom, but mess up your focus instead. That's the same deal breaker as on the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8.
Un-flippin'-believable.
