<strong>*UPDATE 2*


</strong>A new 50mm will be coming in 2013, as the 35 f/2 gets replaced with a new IS version. The EF 24-70 f/4L IS definitely coming, which we knew for sure. I’m willing to wager the pricing below is also not accurate. I probably shouldn’t have posted unconfirmed information about these 2 lenses so quickly. <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE*


</strong>Below is some unconfirmed information in regards to price and weight of the new EF 24-70 f/4L IS, rate it as [CR1] for now.</p>
<ul>
<li>EF 24-70 f/4L IS $849 and weighing 545g</li>
<li>EF 50 f/1.4 IS $799</li>
</ul>
<p>As mentioned earlier, I’m confident about the new 24-70, but the 2nd lens, I’m not 100% sure on. There are so many coming down the pipeline.</p>
<p><strong>Two New Lenses


</strong>We hear that Canon will announce two new lenses very shortly.</p>
<p>We’re pretty sure one of them will be the EF 24-70 f/4L IS, still working out the second one. There are lots of candidates including the 14-24 f/2.8L, 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS, 50 f/1.4, 50 f/2 IS, 135 f/2L IS and the 35 f/1.4L II.</p>
<p>More to come…..</p>

Hmmm... let me guess.... 50mm f1.4 IS and 24-70mm f4 IS ??

Hmmm... let me guess.... 50mm f1.4 IS and 24-70mm f4 IS ??

Sounds plausible. a new standard fullframe prime and a stadard-zoom. would fit the 6D niceley. My guess: both reasonable quality (in Line with 24mmIS, 28mmIS, 40mm STM) and pricing at something like 600$-700$ for the prime and 950$ for the Zoom. without the "L" ofc.

I doubt that it's a f1.4 aperture with IS for the prime, but apart from that...let's see

Im curious though.

What if they were to release a 50mm Prime that was aimed at video users, and also the 24-70mm too. Say both at f2.8 or higher. Maybe even make the diameter a standard 77m across the range.

Sure the photography guys wont be happy, especially if they had gearing for follow focus's built in and internal zooming/focusing it could be a pretty big seller for the guys that use 5D's, 1D's and C100/300 for video.

Does the 200-400 L IS x1.4 count as already having been "announced"?
We know it's out there in the wild testing, puts it a rung above others like a 50mm that only surfaced last week (rumour-wise).

Yes these are the most likely. That 50 replacement has been coming for years now! Not sure it will be a f/1.4 though, as it would cannabalise sales of the 50 f/1.2L.

[pierceography]

Want want want WANT 14-24mm f/2.8L. I'm sick of Nikon owning this range, and would love for a good IQ UW.

I could easily make a 14-24mm my next lens purchase if it came to fruition.

 

[Ricku]

I'm holding my thumbs for the 14-24L or a 16-35 III.

Edit: Why no "CR-rating" on this rumor?

 

[Canon 14-24]

two EF-L lenses? I must be dreaming! From the past I would think if anything one would be an ef-L and the other is an ef-s?!

 

[picturesbyme]

Like many I would love to see (and buy) a Canon 14-24 f/2.8L and a 50 1.4 with good image and build quality a long long time ago...
...so Canon decided to make a 24-70 f/4L IS, and I wouldn't be surprised if the 2nd would be a 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS
(announced now and delivered 6 to 8 months later, or 68 months later )

Doesn't really matter. It will be months before you ever see one. What happened to the 200-400 that was all over the place at the Olympics? Pictures of it in the wild emerged a long, long time ago and nothing to be said.

It hasn't been officially announced yet, big difference, in case that escaped you

 

[davidchang]

my fingers are crossed for the 35L ii

135mm f/1.8L IS USM.

It still doesn't matter, months pass even after they are announced. How long ago was the 500 and 600 II's announced? They have only recently started becoming available. Don't hold your breath with Canon, it will drive you crazy.

 

[symmar22]

How come is it that when Nikon announces a new lens it's available within weeks, when Canon's availability is within years ?

Sounds like we know we're behind the competition, but if you are patient for 2 more years, you'll actually see some novelty.... so please don't switch to Nikon immediately.

 

[Dylan777]

I'll take one of each....50mm f1.4 and/or 14-24mm f2.8 - Don't care IS or not IS.

 

[hmmm]

Re: Two Lenses to be Announced Shortly..... *UPDATE*

24-105 L is 670 g (1.67 pound), the new rumored 24-70 f4L IS is 545 g (1.21 pound). Nearly a half pound lighter. That part would be good.

White box 24-105 can be gotten for maybe $950: a savings $100 (comparing apples to apples, savings of 200 over what the 24-105 USA is going for today at B&H).

If this new lens has better optical performance within its range, better IS, faster AF it might be of interest. Otherwise, the 24-105 is still worth the extra money for the extra range, imho. It all depends on how good the lens turns out to be.

Is this a replacement for the 24-105? Is it going to be the kit lens for the 6D instead of the previously mentioned 6D + 24-105? Or a different kit variant? Will Canon offer the 6D + 24-70 ff4L IS at significantly less than the $2899 pre-order pre-announced for the 6D + 24-105 f4L IS? The retail price difference of the lenses suggests 6D + 24-70f4L IS@ $2699 as an initial retail price.

 

[Springf]

I just hope they don't use STM on the new 50 f/1.4 if it going to release this one...

the 40mm STM focus slower compare to USM ones and produce noise also.

+ 1 !!!

Would love to see a 35mm f/1.4L II come out with equivalent weather sealing to the 24mm f/1.4L II. IS isn't really a big issue for me at that focal length so I wouldn't be too concerned if that wasn't included.
