Apparently Canon Hong Kong is announcing something today. Anyone have any clues?

Canon HK posted that mystery shot about something new for 4/24. However, since it is already after 10pm 4/24 in HK now, something is amiss?

No clues, and no data.

Looks like a well-used lens cap for a super-telephoto lens.

Could that be a macro shot of well used direct print button, removed from the camera?

If we want to have a guessing game, I think the picture looks a lot more like a lens than a camera. How about a surprise 50mm/1.4 IS to take the thunder away from Sigma and Otus?

I'm really hoping it's a 50 1.4L IS that'll be like $700. That would be so killer and would destroy everyone else.

And then maybe they'll bring back the 50 1.0, but sharper.

You guys made my day with the guesses - even more so than the Leica mirrorless.

I want a 100-400 II and a 7D II. Together.

Is that too much to ask for, oh Mighty Canon?!?!?

Square wouldn't work, because of all the Aspherical lenses. but would be cool

Sorry for being ignorant, but is that what "aspherical" means in terms of Canon lenses? I know the dictionary definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspheric_lens, but I did not know Canon's aspherical designs were for optimizing the 2x3 rectangle.

To my understanding, an aspherical lens is shaped to take advantage of the specific 2x3 frame (for 35mm cameras) and only that frame. So if you turned the lens in the bayonet mount and take a photo before it's all the way mounted and after it is, they should be different images.

Some Canon lenses have rectangular rear baffles for optimizing the 36 x 24 rectangle (mm; 1.5 x 1.0 inch).

I doubt very much aspherical lens have any rectangular aspect to them because of the aspherical shape.

The asphericality refers to the curvature of the element not being an outer slice from a sphere (conceptually) but being a slice from a shape with a different curvature. The outer perimeter of the lens element is still a circle.

I don't think you will be able to provide a credible reference for that.
