This figures. I just bought the Canon 100mm f/2.8 L IS macro.

Hope this is great and a bargain anyway.

What would be upgraded over the current version is unknown at this time.

Price would be obviously.

Nothing for me this time, next annoucement 20mm 1.8 + 28mm 1.8 pls.

Booooring - just what the world needs!! The canon 100 2.8 IS is already well priced and very sharp. Why doesn't anyone bring out a good 60 or 65 macro or fast and close focusing.

What's wrong with the old one?

 

[Chaitanya]

Disapointed that there is no 60mm macro, also surprised that Tamron is bringing new 90mm macro when their 90mm VC is already a good lens. I think Sigmas announcement is going to be more exciting: 50-100mm f/1.8 lens.

Edit: forgot to add, Tamron has old 180mm Macro which is also lens they could have updated instead of updating 90mm VC.

This is great! Macro users need more and better options. (Not like like current 90 is a slouch)

Maybe one of the soon to be announced Sigma lenses will be a 60-65mm Macro!

Tamron is expected to announce at least one more product along with the two new lenses. Stay tuned to find out what!

[grainier]

Sorry, man, I've got to be very vague at the moment.

"You can't please yadda yadda yadda..."

It is well known the Tammy 90 M is a very good lens, many would ague it's no 100L and vice versa. Refreshes are always nice, especially in the world of such fine detail as Macro. And as for old adages, seems like they have no shortage of them on CR.

The "old" one is only a few years old.

I expect it will be a cosmetic upgrade, that will quickly expand the line of 'new' lenses.

 

[Mr Majestyk]

Wrong macro lens to be updating. The 180 f/3.5 should have been updated first or at least a 150 f/2.8 VC introduced with weather sealing.

Exactly. Why so much drama around cosmetics?
