Lenses that you want Canon to release next

[Proscribo]

He didn't mention IQ, I'm sure they would have no technical problems pumping out a cheap 500mm lens.

If the could get a high quality 500f5.6 out for less than $4,000 I would be ecstatic.

Then it wouldn't be L lens however I think if canon was to make a cheap supertele it will not be an L lens.

Update the 200 2.8L. Yeah I know, I'm the only one that wants one.

 

[fussy III]

EF 14-18mm/2.0 L IS USM - if too heavy and awkward, then 18/1.4 (below) may complement the line-up better
EF 20-35mm/2.0 L IS USM
EF 40-85mm/2.0 L IS USM

EF 18mm/1.4 L USM tweaked for astrophotography, minimum focus distance about 24cm, if possible 17mm/1.4
EF 17/2.0 L USM with slight (50%) fish-eye-characteristics intended for underwater-photography and close-ups
EF 15-30/4.0 L USM FF-Fisheye

EF 18-70/4.0 L IS USM (complementing the 70-200/4.0 L IS USM, eliminating need for extra wideangle in the bag)
EF 35-100/4.0 L IS USM Macro (complementing the 16-35/4.0 L IS USM and 100-400 L IS USM)
EF 35-100/2.8 L IS USM Portrait/Macro (complementing the 16-35/4.0 L IS USM and 100-400 L IS USM)

TS-E 20-30mm/4.0 (IS)
TS-E 35-60mm/4.5 (IS)
TS-E 65-120mm/5.6 (IS)

EF 38mm/1.2 L IS
EF 66mm/1.2 L IS Macro/Portrait

EF 300/4.0 L IS USM II excellent
EF 360/5.6 (L) IS USM affordable, lightweight, plastic, yet near L-quality optics
EF 200-500/5.6 L IS affordable
EF 500/5.6 L IS USM excellent
EF 800mm/8.0 L IS USM excellent

 

[tron]

A sharp 16-35 2.8L III with excellent corners and no coma fully open.

 

[John]

Updated versions of the following
85 f/1.8
135 f/2

 

[MYB]

EF-S 15-85mm f/4 or they can update EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8

 

[Pixel]

20mm 2.8
85mm 1.8
100mm f2.0

Is that too much to ask?

Shooting mostly wildlife my wish list would be:
-EF 300mm f/4L IS II
-EF 400mm f/5.6L IS
-EF 500mm f/5.6L IS
I would have added a new IS 180 macro but the Sigma 150mm & 180mm are so good I'm not that bothered!
The EF 500mm f5.6L IS would be at the top of my wish list as it would be especially useful for travel and carrying all day and if priced sensibly would enable more people to enjoy the benefits of a super sharp 500mm lens and for those with deep pockets I'm sure they would purchase this lens as well as the f4 version for the reasons already stated.

 

[richro]

24-70 f/2.8L IS, 24-105 f/4L II
50 IS, 85 IS, 135 IS
EF-M 15-85

 

[cellomaster27]

85mm F1.8 IS USM
17-55mm F2.8 IS USM II
300mm F4 IS USM II
50mm F1.2 USM II

How about an update to 200 2 or 1.8? That 1.8 was discontinued long ago, right? A re-boot might turn some heads. Mine would be on a swivel!

Whyyyy would that 200mm need a replacement? I thought it was almost perfect starting from f/2 already, f/1.8 -> f/2 doesn't seem to be really that significant amount.

Because it would be fun to yell, "I'm stopping down to f/2!"

 

[Kwwund]

18-300 IS

 

[DRR]

20mm 2.8
85mm 1.8
100mm f2.0

I would also welcome an update to the 20mm 2.8. Improve IQ across the frame, (shouldn't be too difficult with a 20+ year old design) and either improve build quality and make it heavier, or make it a little smaller and lighter with "standard" build quality. We need more wide primes.

Also an 85mm 1.8 with IS would be great. I don't really need 1.4 on a lens like that and I also don't know if it would be too close for comfort to the 85/1.2 from Canon's standpoint. I do wish they would update the rest of the standard primes in the same ways they updated the 24mm, the 28mm, and the 35mm IS lenses.

Even better a DO BR 500mm f/5.6L IS version

 

[RGF]

14MM f2 (or f1.4) BR is possible

180 macro II - similar IS to 100L macro

zoom extender 1.0 - 1.4 Would allow me to convert 600 prime to 600 to 840 zoom ;D

 

[mml4]

24-70 f/2.8L IS

A Canon 600 mm f4 DO would be first on my lists for wildlife photography. There were prototypes of this lens at Canon Expo 2015 in NYC so I am hoping that they release the lens in the next 12 to 18 months.

care to speculate about the price. If the IQ is close to the 600 F4 II, then the price might tip the scales at $15,000 USD. If the lens is 1.5 lbs lighter then each pound shaved off cost $2,000.
