<strong>From POTN
</strong>A forum thread on POTN talks about a replacement for the EF 16-35 f/2.8L II being due based on past history..</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Quote from the thread</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>FD -> new FD = 6.2 years</em></li>
<li><em>new FD -> EF = 5.5 years</em></li>
<li><em>EF -> EF USM = 6.5 years</em></li>
<li><em>17-35 -> 16-35 = 5.7 years</em></li>
<li><em>16-35 -> 16-35 II = 5.3 years</em></li>
<li><em>As of today (August 2012) we are 5.4 years from the release of the 16-35L II</em></li>
</ul>
<p>There has been <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/06/canon-ef-14-24-f2-8l-cr2/" target="_blank">lots of talk about an EF 14-24 f/2.8L</a> since Nikon launched such a lens. I wouldn’t think this would be a replacement for the 16-35 f/2.8L II, as I can’t see how it can be easily filterable (without large and expensive third party solutions).</p>
<p>If a 14-24 does indeed become the new f/2.8 ultrawide zoom in the Canon lineup, then I expect a 16-40 f/4L IS type of lens to come quickly for the landscape world and for people that need an easy filterable ultrawide. However, the Nikon 14-24 is a monster of a lens, and would be an awkward replacement for a 16-35 at weddings if you currently shoot with one (just my opinion). The widest screw-on filter lens I have seen is the still to be released <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/850101-REG/Zeiss_1964831_Distagon_T_15mm_f_2_8.html/bi/2466/kbid/3296" target="_blank">Carl Zeiss Distagon T* ZE 15mm f/2.8</a>, which has a 95mm filter thread.</p>
<p>There’s enough chatter about a new wide angle zoom, I think we can start to expect one sooner than later.</p>
