My old 35L is perennially stuck at 1.4. Remember this is not a do-it-all lens if you are getting your feet wet... It is a great low light indoors lens in smallish spaces...it is also usable for traditional street photography. Indoors you usually know the subjects and you can jostle closer and they won't mind.
In large events or even for street my personal preference is actually for something longer so you can hang back and go for candid shots with out the camera in strangers' faces. With the 35L if you hang way too back you get those listless wide shots with tiny people doing too many things. Not too compelling. So you have to get a bit closer with 35L in general to have a coherent intimate theme... Outdoors or indoors. Much of my use for this lens has been indoors ambient light wide open. Performs like a champ!

For a while I have 8-15 in my mind. For purpose of use as wide lens. I thing for general purpose new 12-24 would be much more better. Looking forward to have it soon.
I do not use 35mm, prefer 24. True is that most often at f2.0

Great rouse to stem the sigma tide, but "end of march" will eventually become "delayed due to my aunt falling on her back till July" ...then release 7 copies to keep the pot boiling and mass availability in November at the usual high initial price... This is not cynicism, this is what we have seen repeatedly in the past few release timeline with high end canon lenses.
Well practiced marketing strategy.
By x-mas of 2013, Canon offer $200ish rebate plus BH discount.....I see the delay as pro ;D
True, but they won't do that for a brand new product... Even with the 24-70 II, it is newish...but it has been around a few months before we saw the rebate.

Need to wait and see if the 35mm beats the sigma.
As for the 14-24, too late I already sprung for the Tokina 16-28.

That has been the pattern for several years now.
I am wondering why Canon would be introducing expensive new lenses at that time. The worldwide econoomic situation, plus many people having to deal with bills from Christmas purchases doesn't sound right. Maybe it won't actually ship until 1915!

If the canon 35L II actually materializes (let's not forget, this is a rumor), canon will address or top the competition. Given the brand loyalty, they can sell the lens at a premium just for updating the old lens...sad, but such is life.

35L is under the tree, and I'm no less excited about it after the CR1 news about version II. Especially with the sale price that has been on at B&H for the last while.
