You already have the 24mm f2.8 IS, I have one for sale, it is a great lens and tiny! I don't see Canon making a faster version.

That is pricy for cheap crop user like me and end up paying for FF glass. I have sigma 17-50mm f2.8 IS lens. I wish Canon makes ef-s prime for 35mm equivalent. Only option is Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 which is heavy and expensive.privatebydesign said:

Why would it be any cheaper?
Which begs the question, 1/3 stop, does it really make that much difference in a 35mm f2 or f1.8?

Since these 3 lenses were released way back in the early 1990's, I think it is high-time that Canon come up with their respective replacements IMHO. Just hoping that they are included in Canon's agenda.

I have a lot of those ancient lenses, and they have been excellent performers. I have a special fondness for the 400 f/5.6L. There isn't anything as light and long and well-balanced - and it focuses fast for birds in flight (not a whole lot of mass to shove about - only 7 elements). It needs IS. The 180 f/3.5L macro has been reliable, but Sigma has given it a serious challenge with the Sigma 180 f/2.8 OS, which is sharper AND has stabilization. 70-200 f/4L IS - another light and well balanced tele. I am not sure that I would need much more than this, it's a good tele landscape lens.

If Canon can profitably make a low-end IS zoom for $199 (18-55mm IS), and a series of low-end primes for $100-125 (24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.eight), then I'd hope they can make a prime with IS for $199 as well. My logic, admittedly not informed by any understanding of optics, is that it would be simpler and cheaper to put IS on a prime than on a zoom.
For comparison, the 35mm f/2.0 is $549 today. A great lens, but out of my reach.
Canon has done a great job creating high-quality budget lenses for people like me. I'd love to have one in between the 24 and the 50.

Between 24mm and 50mm, there is a 40mm pancake. That's just F2.8 but it seems that Canon does not want us to F1.8 at cheap lenses, except 50mm.Kwwund said:
I have a little envy of Nikonians colleagues, who have a good 35mm F1.8 to APS-C, for less than $ 200.
I gave up waiting for the goodwill of Canon with us who use APSC, and bought the Sigma 30mm F1.4 Art.

70-200 f/2.8L was updated. "IS mark II" is the current version from 2010.. Its one of the best on the market.. No need to update this lens for another 4 years..

Actually the "IS mark II is the update of "IS mark I. The non IS model coexists with the latest IS model (and the same applies to f/4 L). Since I had it (before it was stolen) I know that it had very good IQ (the first zoom that had fixed lens quality). Since all of the above lenses (with the possible exception of 300 4L IS) have very good IQ there is no immediate need to be updated.ExodistPhotography said:
