I'm waiting for an EF 50 f1.4 USM IS followed be an EF 85 f2 USM IS. The 35 f2 IS needs a couple big brothers.

Next Lens Canon Should Release?
- Thread starter Tanispyre
- Start date
Canon should launch as soon as possible:
50mm F1.8 IS STM (for shooting compact, and video) :
50mm F1.4 IS USM (without LOCAS, or Sigma will dominate the market) :-X
85mm F1.8 IS USM (no purple fringing, please) :-\
100mm F2 IS USM (priced below 135mm) 8)
50mm F1.8 IS STM (for shooting compact, and video) :

I'm excited for that rumored tilt-shift macro lens! I shoot a lot of product photography, so it sounds pretty interesting.

Would love a fast zoom that doesn't exhibit the crazy coma of the 16-35 F2.8 or 24mm 1.4 . I'd buy one in a flash - currently using the Samyang lenses in that range for countryside nightscapes.

I wish Canon would make an 85/1.4 that doesn't cost as much as the 85/1.2L, focuses at usual USM speeds, and is perfectly usable wide open.
It is not an impossible wish, Nikon and Sigma already have it, and Sigma is reportedly bringing out another one. However, I am worried Canon will go the 85/1.8 IS route if they see that as a more profitable market.

The current 400mm DO f4.0 does seem really costly for that extra half stop over the 5.6 - I'm not convinced that Canon will see fit to replace either of the "cheapo" 300/400mm lenses and just say that the new 100-400mm whenever it comes out is the replacement - a 500mm f5.6 IS sounds interesting though... That might just work with screw on filters, but a drop in one would be pretty cool... Get the price under £2000 ? ;-)

Bah!
I missed that I could vote for two. Oh well, I did vote for the EF 12-24/4, and I wouldn't cry too much if that even came out as f/2.8. The other lens I could long for in that selection would be an EF 50/1.2.

This is a trend that I have observed in India with regard to wildlife/Bird Photographers. They always get a crop sensor body (EOS XXXD/XXD/7D) with 300mm f/4 +1.4x TC or 400mm f/5.6 or 100-400mm lens. If they have some extra money they will get a used 500mm f/4L Mk 1(its cheaper than new 300mm f/2.8). There is a big gap right now between the 400mm f/5.6 to 300mm f/2.8L. When I talked with some of the guys they said they wouldn't mind a 400mm f/4 with 1.4x TC or a 500mm f/5.6L lens in their bags as they can save for a lens that costs around 250000INR(~4000US$). Currently in here those 3 cheapest super tele lens are the highest selling lenses with a lot of photographers.
Just check http://www.indianaturewatch.net/ (this is the site where highest number of wildlife related photos from India are uploaded) for how many photos are taken using 300/400/100-400.

Those are what we call pipe dreams, none of those are very realistic physically (pancake) or financially (20-200mm f4L / 200-460mm).Haydn1971 said:

400mm f/5.6 L USM (1993)
50mm f/1.4 USM (1993)
Something tells me the 135mm SF is going to be dead, not replaced. The digital world has little need for the soft focus available on that dinosaur. I could definitely see all other lenses listed above being replaced in the next 3 years.

Its the 50mm f/2.5 that should be replaced. Nikon has AF-S 60mm f/2.8 that has silent focusing motor and internal focusing. I do want a Full Frame 50-70mm Macro lens with USM/STM and IF. And currently neither Canon or Sigma or Tamron offer such a lens. As for that 135mm Soft focus, there are hardly any dealers in India that offer that lens now a days. Usually its the 135mm L lens that sells like hot cakes here.

Rolls eyes at Kyle... Pipe dreams are what made today's gadgets ! It's not long ago that 28mm was as wide as the general zoom went, 35mm before that... I don't believe that manufacturers will stop at 24mm, similarly, Nikon have the 10-30mm (27-82mm) in a package just 42mm deep, that's pancake enough for me !
Re super teles, if Tamron can do 150-600 for less than £1000 I'm pretty sure it's just greed stopping Canon doing something substantially shorter for twice the price that will work with future Canon DSLR's, something that stops me investing huge amounts in third party lenses is the lack of future proofing

This is a fun topic.
I voted 12-24 and the 50mm IS, for what it's worth.
I'd like also like to see a small, non-L, wide angle prime. 16mm f/4 that is compact and lightweight would be great.
If they could essentially take the existing 85mm/1.8 and add IS that would be a nice addition - 85mm f/1.8 II IS.
Also, anything pancake, I would probably buy.
