A Big Lens Announcement in September? [CR1]

[Harry Muff]

Did the 200-400 have its own event, or was it part of something else?

 

[Marsu42]

My guess is a 50mm 1.8 or 2.0 with IS and maybe a new 85 also with IS.

Nooooo, Canon is able to bore us own their own, [CR1] threads should be reserved to the juicy stuff!

Plus a change away from "white" to "black" lens...

They wouldn't give up one of their best marketing advantages (as lenses like the 70-300L don't profit from the white color. However, Canon might introduce a new top lens line with silver, gold or platinum coating to make lesser brand photos to be stunned in awe and the crowd in front divide as by magic one the owner arrives

I'd probably enjoy seeing the 100-400 most. Though, I think Canon would be smart to compete in the 12/14-24 f/2.8 range.

Knowing how "mad" they have been with their share to facebook type thingy on the Powershot, perhaps the "superteles" will have a separate function to automatically share to Facebook, mangle pictures with shitty filters on Instagram and the like (perhaps a small wifi/3g module) in line with the camera.

Just hope they don't get inveigled into Apple's "rounded corners" patent gun

Whatever it is, hopefully time will tell.

I vote for a replacement - for a new genious - of the 100-400 L !!!!!!! this would be wonderful

EF 35/1.2L
:

YES I would like that (but a Sigma f/1.4 is more likely to become part of my kit).

Good point!

135mm f/1.8L IS USM

No. The upcoming announcement is from Canon, not Sigma

lol. +1

Ya, it's Canon - they'll be releasing a135mm f/4 IS.

lolz. +2

Don't forget the built in macro mode. X_X

 

[PhotographiesND]

A new 100-400 is what I am expecting for...

with aperture F/4 constant...

Perhaps both? Won't be 100-400 F4 since that is basically the 200-400.Needs to be 5.6 or variable aperature

 

[RGF]

replacement for the version II of the 300, 400, 500, and 600 with built-in 1.4 convertors (like the 200-400). Of course the price would jump by $2,000 per lens (ouch!)

 

[Eimajm]

Maybe some bright spark at Canon found out that they could make a 400mm F4 out of the 200-400mm parts laying around, and have decide to replace the DO?

Man, you are optimistic on price. Anyway, as the 200mm f/2L IS and 800mm f/5.6L IS look like bargains now in the supertele line, I'd bet on both of those being replaced with all the modern improvements of the other version II lenses, a matching paint color (those last-generation lenses look so outdated with different paint color /sarcasm) and an 'updated' MSRP.

Also good possibilities (only in the 'big' news realm):
45mm TS-E L and 90mm TS-E L
300mm f/4L IS replacement and 400mm f/5.6L IS

Then again, who predicted that Canon would replace the 15mm Fisheye with an 8-15mm zoom? Maybe we are all thinking a bit too much inside the box.

LOL.... ;D ;D ;D

 

[JonS]

200mm macro to replace the elderly 180?

 

[Ruined]

Here is my guess:

EF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 IS $1499 - similar to the EF version in quality but smaller in size w/o weather sealing.

...to compliment an imminent 7D MKII announcement!

Might sound crazy, but it is the one major gap in the EF-S lens series and would be a huge seller w/ the 7D MKII and 70D.

I fully agree. The full frame body owners would say "buy EF lenses" because they think you will someday make the leap to full frame. Well, I say do not intend to move to full frame, and would be very happy with a lens like the EF-S 70-200 F2.8 IS, or 55-150 F2.8 IS. Where are the high quality lenses, lighter and cheaper? Ah ... They are only in Sigma.

More thinking about a 55-135mm f/2.8 IS...

In the past did Tokina 50-135mm f2.8 but no longer does. :'( Now only Sigma 50-150 F2.8 OS, which seems a good lens, but size and weight seem as large as 70-200 F2.8.

Wouldn't you think an EF-S 70-300mm IS F4 would be more likely?
