A Big Lens Announcement in September? [CR1]

[rs]

With the 70D's dual pixel AF and the push for video, why not update these two with STM AF?

If you'll forgive me for a bit of poetic license with the abbreviations, I'd prefer the lenses' AF motors to retain their Ultra Speed Movement instead of being made Slow To Move.

I'm a stills shooter so I prefer USM for my own work, but I can see Canon going down that Stills To Movies road at full crawl

Canon has just announced price cuts on the EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 and the EF-S 10-22 wide angle. Could be a sign, or it could be coincidence. Certainly both lenses could use an update/upgrade.

Both are <10 years old, and really, an update/upgrade would mean they'd cost as much as their L equivalents, maybe even more. Unless Canon is churning out an EF-S 10-22 f/2.8, no point in updating the current model, which is a solid lens.

Ahk!!! I love my 10-22mm but a price cut... I should've known huh.

I predict a Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS III USM. Not really, but I just bought the Mark II, so it will probably happen

Congratulations.
Arguably the best lens Canon makes, may you take oodles and oodles of pictures with it for many years to come.

I hope he's right and wants to sell his current one!

If it is a "big lens" announcement, the 100-400 is what 1st popped into my mind. If it is a big "lens announcement", maybe the 14-24 or 50mm. Many canon users have been begging for these to be either replaced or created (14-24) for a good while, at least on canon rumors. Does canon read cr?

I'm going with in order of importance (in my opinion )

1) 12/14-24L f/2.8 I want in the future :

2) 100-400L IS f/4.5-5.6 I want (won't be a straight f4, not having just launched the 200-400 f4 x1.4)

3) 16-50L f/4 IS I want

+1 : : :
