I think most know what lens I want.

You've made no secret of your desire for a 40mm f/2.8 MkII.

Black or white?

135mm F/1.8L IS USM?

If you're wishing, why not 135mm F/1.4L IS USM? Is it impossible or something?

"a wide angle zoom with IS (17-50 f/4L IS?"

That would be awesome.

(To use on a new A7R ;D.)

This would make the perfect pairing with the 24-70 II! and 70-300L.

Not "year of the new sensors"? lol
(like whole new manufacturing process and so on)

LOL...If Duffman was a Canon exec:

"New...feelings sensors...brewing in Duffman Canon! What...would Jesus Sony do?"

35-85mm F2L

FTW 8)

Bring it on, Canon. I am all ready to splurge on lenses...

Widest FF zoom lens: 12-24 L f/2.8 USM

Except 12mm is already being done; they'd have to make it an 11-xx lens to be the widest.

That will be pretty cool. But the lens need to be as sharp as the 14-24 f/2.8 wide-open. If Canon's EF-S 10-22 is much sharper than Nikon's DX 10-24, I don't see why they cannot do the same for FF ultrawide lens.

How come the "Slim Your Wallet" ad shows up more than once in this thread? Is it subliminal advertising?

Ads are individual, so most others do not see the exact same ones you see. Google reads your cookies from sites your computer has visited, and serves up ads just for you. Just by visiting CR, you will see ads for photo related items on other sites with Google Ad Choices advertising, which is almost everywhere.

God that would be an amazing lens. Give it a nice and close minimum focusing distance. Unless I was doing landscape, this would never leave my camera body.

Actually, 2010 was going to be the year of the lens.

I followed the link above and the lens list that followed were CR's predictions, not based on any CR2 type of rumors. What it tells us is CR site owner is poor in predictions.

I will not be surprised if 2014 seriously turns out to be the Year of the Lens. Firstly, Canon Imaging needs to improve on their profits and the ILC market is nearly saturated. So, selling more lenses is an option. Secondly, Nikon has nearly caught up with Canon in the lens department, so it's time for Canon to put some distance between themselves and Nikon. Lenses like the widest rectilinear zoom lens and 16-50 f/4L IS will help cement Canon's status as the manufacturer with the widest lens options. Thirdly, the EOS-M fire sale is working (see Amazon and BCNRanking), so it's time for Canon to release more M-mount lenses.

Fine, but this is not a CR2-type rumor, either...
