Well if it's a fake that's a darn good rendering!

I don't even want to think about how much that ones gonna cost. I happy with my present 135L.

Fake - the wrong font is used on the end of the lens, where it says "Canon EF...". Not consistent with the rest of the lettering.

The focus selector switch is somewhat amusing too - looks like it's from a super-telephoto, as the current one only has .9m to Inf or 1.5m to Inf.

Besides, I'll keep my existing 135L. I have no need to "upgrade" from f/2 to f/1.8, IS or not.

I'd be first in the queue. For my wedding work, not having IS on that lens really kills me at times

I only just bought mine a few months ago lol!!

They have pretty much picked the picture apart over at CR.. Plenty of cloned pixels on barrel, and front lens seem to be lifted from a 24-70/2.8 Mk2 pic

Pity it's a fake would have been a fun lens

Oh man! That'd be... well, I'll just say I'd want one. Heck, even just adding IS to the current 135L would make me happy, but imagine if this is real, and with the new coatings and whatever other new technology they applied to the 70-200 2.8L II and presumably to the 24-70 2.8L II. It could well be worth the $2499 price tag I'd predict.

Yup, it is a good PS job if that's fake. Although the current lens is excellent but the IS and the f/1.8 speed would be awesome. Is there a waiting list anywhere

It would be $2500 + in price unless made in Malaysia

Also size is too small for F1.8, but possible. So, good time to buy current model if you didn't until now....

I bought and sold the current model twice, so this (fake) rendering leaves me completely cold

Holy shit batman, it looks real even if it's fake looks and damn sexy. Count me in like Flynn. It's what I've been dreaming of for years and would be of far more interest than a 200 f/2. Even at $2500 that's still less than half the 200 price and I'm not sure it would be that much though at least $2K. Interestingly it would still only have a 75mm front element.

I see they went to some trouble to modify the distance limiter switch settings. MFD of 0.8m rather than 0.9m on the 135 f/2.

fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
everything about it is wrong

lettering angle, f/1.8 is wrong, no room for IS in that shape, looking in front elements it looks totally wrong for 135mm, etc.

it's a mangled 100L

Wrong coating. . . . certain things look strange. Maybe it is a mockup that Canon has in mind. Both ends of the lettering USM as pointed out and the first part of Caonon, is also tilted. It would be fun though, plenty of fun.
