Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Specifications

So is this the lens CR rumored it last year that a new pro EF-S lens will debut in early 2016? Because if this is it, I'm extremely disappointed. Where is the much needed 17-55 f2.8 IS USM II, or improved 50 1.4. Jesus christ, Canon

A 18-135mm kit lens is "pro" in what way? ;D

You tell me. But with the sticker price of 600, and "early 2016" tag as CR mentioned, it is close to being that said lens.

As to why this new USM debuts in a non L lens:

Following one of the links in the 20+ pages 80d thread I found the information that the new USM technology can only be applied to a lens with a single low weight focal element.
So I believe that for moving heavy class in a video aimed lens STM is here to stay...
