Sweet, thanks for sharing.
Nice to see that the 24-105mm retains the 77mm filter size.

Provided the price remains reasonable, it won't be long until that baby replaces the older one in my kit.
(Now, whether it comes kitted with a 5D IV, that remains to be seen ...)

The 24-105ii looks promising. Adding weight means adding elements for correction. Wondering how much it'll be. Maybe $1100?

 

[docsmith]

EF 16-35 f/2.8 III will be awfully tempting for starscapes if it has reasonable coma. I have and love the 16-35 f/4 but I do not really need IS.

 

[Good24]

Wow very nice. So much chatter about the 5d Mk IV was beginning to think people forgot about the new lenses. I'm vaguely in the market for the 16-35. I have the Mk II. It's great for many purposes. But the CA. I'll wait to see how well CA is controlled in the new one before considering a purchase.

Once again, I'll be keeping my eyes on user reviews of the 24-105. If those reviews are favorable-as I suspect they will be- there is a place in my bag for it. In line w/Canons current lens offerings, these should provide great optical performance.

 

[Chaitanya]

No IS for 16-35 that would have been useful. Else those looks like cleaner designs seen in new L glass released in last couple of years.

What is the extra little 'lump' on the side of the 24-105? Right beside the 24-105 mm label? It appears the switches for AF/MF and stabilizer on/off are on the left side of the photo just like on the current version.

Zoom lock?

 

[Refurb7]

I hate to see this lenses get bigger and heavier, but it's a sign that Canon is going all-in for image quality. Can't blame them for wanting to make excellent products.

Hey docsmith

What's your opinion on IS for shorter focal lengths? When does one want IS and when is it sufficient to work with a faster shutterspeed?

Yes. And better light transmission too.
DxO rates the transmission of the current 24-105 f4L at 5.1.
I guess the new one will fare better.

Wondering how much it'll be. Maybe $1100?

The rumors say that the 5DIV will come in two kits: one with the 24-70/4L and another one with the new 24-105/4L.
I'd assume that there will be a $400-500 price difference between the two kits.
So, the price of the new 24-105/4L will likely be $1400-1500.

Zoom lock?

Hoping that is lens lock plus marco on / off just as the 24-70 F/4L

 

[Meatcurry]

Probably won't have the "macro" mode, as the yellow line is missing from the distance scale. Bit of a shame as that would have been nice.

The original was around 1200 MSRP. It's going to be higher that that.

Nice to see they'll become reality soon ;D

100% this is a zoom lock.
I don't believe in a dedicated macro functionality like the 24-70/4L has, even though it would be really nice.
If it was so there wouldn't be any reason for the 24-70/4L anymore (except for the size/weight).
If I was wrong here I was really happy

Here the same: macro functionality would be gread. It will not replace the 2.8 100 macro but make a good "single lens solution" for a variety of applications - landscape (+ some closeups of flowers, stones), cityscapes (+ some closeups of e.g. building ornaments, etc.).

I am very interested to see how the 16-35 f/2.8L III compares to Canon's 16-35 f/4L IS which has really impressed me so far.

I am sure both of these two new lenses will be excellent performers.

I've been waiting for this update. Can't wait for the official launch. Hopefully the price for new 16-35mm lens is not too expensive ;D
