I actually prefer the 82mm filter.
It is the same as my 16-35 II and 24mm TS-e II. I wish the 70-200 IS II also had 82mm so it is all uniform.

The Canon marketing department, of course.

I've been waiting for a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 IS, even better that its now 24mm on the wide end. Sweet.

The primes seem silly. Who wants one of those?
The Tamron may be big competition for the new Canon 24-70. If the Tamron is close in performance, it may be difficult to justify the cost of the Canon, plus you get VC.

I don't see the prices for those primes either... where does it say they'll be as much as the 24L?

I guess there is some need for updated non-L wide primes. There have been a few threads on the subject. Shouldn't have been so quick to dismiss.

Well, as long as the tamron offers good enough iq for a full frame I'll bet getting that instead. Maybe canon should listen a bit more to what their customers want...

Let say Canon MKII is better than the old version, but the Tamon with VC is similar to the old one, then I'm sure it'll sell like hot cakes.

Of course the prices aren't posted, but based on the last 3 years' worth of "updates" the prices on those primes will skyrocket - and by adding IS they'll justify an even bigger hike. I exaggerate that they'll be the price of the 24L, but I guarantee they will be in the $700 to $800+ range.

I reiterate: f/2.8 wide primes with IS - WTF?

Of 1741 customer reviews at B&H Photo, 935 list "Heavy" as a con. I think Canon is listening!

I'll second that.

I hear many more people complaining about the 50 1.4 rather than the old 28 f/2.8.

An updated 50 1.4 with true ring USM would be a welcome update or how about a EF-S 30-35 f/1.8 like the Nikon?

But instead Canon makes a 24 f/2.8 with IS - that's just silly.

No. That is okay. It is just to show "we have it" - nobody needs.
But a 24-70 2.8 zoom without is not understandable!

My guess is that the Tamron will better than their old 28-75 which was close to the old Canon. If it turns out to be better than the old Canon 24-70 in IQ, then I will have a difficult decision to make. In all likelihood the Canons will have the better AF, the area which the Tamron 28-75 was a bit slow. I can only guess that the omission of IS in the Canon means that the IQ must be better. Otherwise, why make it - lighter weight only wouldn't sell many lenses.
The choices we will have are a good thing and I can't wait to try them out.
