We're still trying to figure out what is coming alongside the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS at the end of August 2017. We've seen certification for 3 different SKU's of lenses made in Malaysia, which has given us some pause.

We're told by a great source that a “series” of three “high end” lenses is coming in 2017 and they assumed it was the three lenses listed in the certification. Now we're not so sure if that's the case strictly because of the manufacturing country. To our knowledge, all “high end” lenses by Canon are made in Japan.

I guess this is a long way of saying that we're still confident a series of 3 lenses is coming, they may just not be coming with the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS. The lenses in question from the certification could possibly be 3 different colours for the upcoming Canon EOS M20 (name not confirmed).

At the time of writing this, we're not sure what the “series” is, but there's a chance we have 4 “high end” lenses coming and 3 lower end lenses which may not differ in specs outside of colour.

More to come as we learn more.
