New Lens on December 6, 2011? [CR1]

[ecka]

It will be the new 24-70 IS. Bet the house on it. Want to know why???? Because I just ordered the original from B&H. Grrrrrr And, that means it will be a superb, transformative lens that will instantly drop the value of the one that I will have had for a week by a significant amount. LOL

It could be a new EF-S standard prime lens as well, because I've just switched to FF ;D ... like fast 28mm

I would be awesome if it was the 24-70 f/2.8 IS!

 

[EELinneman]

ecka,

If it is the fast efs lens, I'll buy you the first round. We just need to find a bar close by one of us!

 

[JR]

Hopefully 24-70 F2.8 IS

+1, this would make a killer video lens!

 

[niccyboy]

a 12mm-600mm f1.2 IS Macro L series lens with built in gyro and tripod and automatically packs itself up and cleans itself... oh and transforms into a coffee machine.

I'll bet my house on it

We'll see ... , only 2 days left.

yeah announce it already!

If the fabled December 6th lens was a reality, we would have heard by now and the CR guy would have told us about a press conference to announce "the lens" by now (probably the weekend b/4). Looks like no lens announcement. I hope nobody sold their 24-70 (or whatever) in anticipation of getting whatever.

well it's 10:48 in Australia (the parts that matter, anyway), and there's nothing on any of the english-language sites in this half of the world (.au, .sg, .hk, .nz) as of yet. Might happen later, but i'm still calling cr0

I think there will be no announcement tomorrow as we would have eard something else by now. Remember in the original post Graig had eluded to a responce by Canon to the potential Nov 30th announcement date from Nikon. Since Nikon only announced a new flash on Nov 30th and not the D800, I think they will wait until CES in January for any lens announcement.

The current rebate structure should be enought to keep lens sales strong until Xmas! At least they are working for me

Only because you yanks are a day behind the rest of the world.
It's been december 6 for 12 hours here already...

 

[Canon Rumors]

I never believed there was anything coming December 6, I made a judgement call just in case it showed up on other sites.

I tried to word it as such. Though, the day isn't over yet.

I don't think anything is coming today/tomorrow.

 

[Ryusui]

With the number of lenses they have on rebate, I don't see much sense in announcing a new lens when you're apparently trying to majorly increase sales on your current ones.

I agree with all who have said CES.

Seriously, did anyone expect a new lens announcement/ They have not been able to get production of previously announced lenses goiing.

The post was a CR1, which means that it might be fun to discuss, but its not a prediction.

<p><strong>New Lens(es)?</strong>

Are we getting a goodie before Christmas?
<p>Received an email today saying Canon may announce a new lens on or around December 6, 2011.</p>
<p>This could just be in retaliation of the <a href=\"http://nikonrumors.com/2011/11/25/nikon-sb-910-and-a-new-lens-to-be-announced-on-november-30th-2011.aspx/\">suspected Nikon announcements</a> on November 30, 2011. No mention of what lens, which lowers the possibility in my eyes.</p>
<p>I can only think of one time a lens was announced and I had heard absolutely nothing about it, and that was the 55-250 II.</p>

Well, December 6th here on the West Coast and nothing from Canon.......
