I know both of these lenses are currently wonderful, but so was the 70-200 2.8L IS, and look how much Canon improved that lens when they released the MK II! I'm hoping the 35 and the 24-70 will be a similar story.

A 35mm with sealing and current coating is very interesting to me.
The 24-70 only if it is lighter had less field curvature and was somewhat better on the long end.
However I would prefer a 135 f/2.0 L with sealing and maybe IS.

I'm OK without IS just make it lighter and sharper.

Without IS it would be pretty much an ordinary lens, regardless how much of an improvement the optical part would be. If Nikon felt necessary to put in a VR in their 16-35mm lens, it would be a major omission for Canon not to put in IS in a new 24-70mm lens, soon or later. Period.

Did Nikon put VR in their new 24-70Z? Did Sigma put OS in their new 24-70?

Maybe Canon could differentiate themselves, but Sigma is hardly taking huge number of sales from the to need to differentiate themselves. If it's as good of an improvement as the 70-200L mk II then it'll sell like hotcakes.

Nikon introduced the 24-70mm in 2007 after Canon alright but that was 4 years ago. The Nikkor 16-35mm VR was introduced in 2010, a few years later. I will refrain from commenting about any Sigma product. Yes, even without IS the lens will sell if the optical improvement justifies it but why stop there? Rather than just making a great lens, why not make an all around superb lens with all the features that make it more desireable?
