Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L USM II mentioned [CR2]

Has anyone heard anything new about the Mk II?

I'm itching to get a 28-70 f2 soon-ish, and from experience there will be at least 2 or more sales / promos / cashbacks before the end of the year. Canon Europe often does Black Friday and New Years I think.

I would hate to skip all those and then still no Mk II materializes.

The rumor dates back to Feb. 2024
Is it possible that ultimately it was the 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM that was recently released? And therefore no MK II

This original version is quite good, but not quite as sharp into the sides and corners as the best L primes. If you don't plant to crop heavily or pixel peep, and of course accept the size and weight, I think you should go ahead and take advantage of the end of year savings. As another said, it's possible the 28-70mm f/2.8 was what the rumor was based on.
