UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, definitely a micro-shred of evidence, if it can be called that, for some tenuous conjecture:
I've been watching the refurb in-stock numbers of the ef 50mm 1.2 L on Canon Price Watch. They pop up to roughly 60 left, drop down to about 50, then back up to 60. And CPW is showing a 10% discount code.
The ef 85mm 1.2 L II, on the other hand, came and went, as expected: A few dozen sold out quickly.
Is this some evidence of a pending announcement for the new 50mm 1.2? Is Canon trying to clear out their refurb stock? Do they have a higher than usual refurb stock for the lens?
Any potential buyers holding back to see what's coming?
I thought hard about getting a refurb myself, but then kept thinking I'd kick myself if the refresh comes soon.
