24-70 f/2.8L IS
A couple of people have reported to seeing the lens in the wild. One “witness” said the lens hood was very different.
As with most of these sightings, no pics are available.
35 f/1.8
A 35 f/1.8 is being reported again. NL has posted about it. We posted about it a while ago here and here.
T1/2000D Announcement
We were burned on this one! No T1/2000D as of yet. I have no CR3 sources piping up about such an announcement.
One person commented that perhaps Canon is preparing an announcement with a little more fanfare.

I hope that they release 24-70mm before august, it will be the perfect gift for the upcomming marrage season. :)
I know this is a pipe dream, but it’d be nice for the 135L to have IS… It’s be the perfect gig lens. Everyone’s so obsessed with the 24-70L getting IS.
I don’t think so canon 24-70 will get IS, Canon doesn’t have necessary techniques.
clearly not, since they created IS well before the other manufacturers and can put IS in lenses like the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS
While I wouldn’t exactly complain about a 24-70 IS… is it really that necessary over the 24-105 and the current 24-70? I think I would be much more likely to blow $1600+ on a 24-70 (or even a 18-80 while I’m dreaming) non-IS f/2.8 with absolutely mind boggling optics. Leave IS for the consumer and super tele markets. That would be the ultimate walk around all purpose lens for me. That being said… I hope they come out with something new soon! I suppose there is also no chance at all for a 24-70 f/2?
