Is This a Canon EF 11-24 f/4L?

Looks like fake. Front element from 14-24 Nikkor and the rest from 17-40.
Canon will never put a red ring on a hood, it will be on a body, even with integrated hood.

Definitely not a 17-40L body, closer in style to the 8-15L but not the same. As for Canon never putting a red ring on the hood.

Great catch!

Indeed, a very good point
F4 is ...very pausible, but that front element looks like the one from the Ts-e 17mm
Yeah, the body shell looks sort of outdated, if one compares it with recent WA zoom releases

Why not? The hood is integrated and where else would they put the ring?

Plus the inside of the hood and the front element look totally different than the 14-24 2.8 Nikkor.

Fake. F/4 makes no sense.

The image is good PS, but still looks like PS.
+1, something about the lighting on the hood doesn't match the body of the lens & front element.

Also, um, well, I'm pretty sure Photokina is going on and it would make no sense for them to announce it later this year unless they do a development announcement this week.

It could be exceptionally good photoshop, but it could also be real.
1. Canon does put L rings on hoods, and in this case the hood is integrated.
2. The spacing between the FL markers is very realistic for a UWA.
3. The ridges on the hood are Canon-style, not like the 14-24.
4. The bulge of the front element and the rings around it look neither like the 14-24, nor the TSE 17mm or the 14/2.8L II. It is very distinctive.
5. The body is also unlike any existing Canon lens. Especially the infra red markers are the first for a Canon UWA I think, and the focusing window is very typical for an UWA (so it is not all copied from a standard zoom).

So yeah, it could be a very elaborate hoax, and if so, kudos to the artist. Or real ;)

I just wish its real

Canon lacks that mm range
11mm 12mm 13mm nope

Just EF 14mm, 15mm fisheye and 16-35mm

Just Canon? AFAIK, only Sigma has 12-24mm (not stellar performer, but decent), all other manufacturers have only 14mm and above.

I don't know, personally, 11mm seems over the top. Everything will be distorted like black hole event horizon...

I have the Sigma 12-24 II for a while and with practice, you can get some pretty awesome results. 11mm would blow my mind and I'd be first in line for the pre-order if this thing is actually real.

FYI, it was posted in the following page as the image of EF24-105mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM. They changed it to the correct image after a short while. Not just me but a lot of people saw it. Looking forward to the official announcement!
