Yep, as I just said on another thread, small FL zoom multipliers uniquely work in UWA that wouldn't in say, a 24-35mm lens. Those two framings are not different enough to think of that lens as a useful zoom. But, for a 16-24 I would absolutely reverse my mind on that.

It'll be interesting to see how large it is and the price. Having such a small range for just one stop compared to a 24-70 f/2.8... The 24mm f/2.8 IS and 35mm f/2 IS can be had for 1000 new and less refurbished, and they're each much smaller than typical zooms. Many that interested in the fasted glass will already have 24 and 35 f/1.4 options... I wonder how big this market is. Now, it was a 24-35 f/1.4, then we'd be talking!

Need to wait the price... If Sigma hit the market with a 1000$/€ max, it will be a serious problem for canon. EDIT ; 849€ ==> http://sigma-rumors.com/2015/06/sigma-24-35mm-f2-art-price-rumor-849-euros/ahsanford said:

+1. The 24L II and 35L are more expensive than their Sigma counterparts and they'll still sell. I think this lens will affect 24A and 35A sales more than the Ls because those buyers are more price elastic.

Maybe we should get back on topic, which was
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS in Development? [CR1]
And put the Sigma zoom discussion into the Sigma zoom release thread?
just my thought...

My fault. Apologies.
Now that I gave up the 24-70 f/2.8L I for the 24-70 f/4L IS, I fear the 24-70 f/2.8L IS would not get my money.
I realize an IS version of the 24-70 f/2.8L II would be sharper, but I've grown to adore the lighter weight and shorter length, and I am in love with the 0.7x max magnification. I realize the macro working distance of that at 70mm is next to nothing, but on hikes and vacations, it lets me leave the 100L at home. It's not meant for dedicated macro work w.r.t. tripods/rails/ring-lites/focus stacking/etc. at all, but it's such a gift in a pinch. It really is a clever, clever add to a lens and I don't know of other standard zooms that offer it.
(Attached were very quickly snagged handheld with available light -- they don't go on the wall or anything, but they fill out a travelogue well.)

No need to apologize. You were not the only one and I thought to lift the flag a little bitahsanford said:
Really nice shots, although I don't like if a lizard has to lose its tail. Even just in photo

I just heard the 24-105 f/4L IS is being discontinued, and the timing of that lines up for a new 5D or 1D model to be launched at the end of the year with a new kit lens; a 5D/1D + 24-70 f/2.8L IS kit would be a good excuse for a premium-price SKU.

Castle Cameras is a UK shop that seems very tight with Canon, Sigma and Fuji. If they say the lens is going out of production, you can bet your bottom dollar it's going out of production.

Canon Rumors said:
the last reasonable suggestion I've seen anywhere is the suggestion that it takes around 7 years for a lens to finalize from initial development.
(this was from nikon) ... even if it's quicker in canon land, it could be 5+ or more years away before it's completed and into manufacturing.
