Check out Figure 11 in the documentation for a hint at what the next camera Pro body will look like

Well it's relative right... I'm sure all this stuff is "affordable" for Bill Gates (possibly even disposable)... for the rest of us... well

Could be something like a 14-24L zoom maybe?

Interesting find. Thanks for posting.

Take a look at fig.8 from the drawings section.
A zoom lens is shown that is longer at the wide end and shorter at the tele end.
The 24-70L is currently the only (?) Canon lens with such design.
Could this be the upcoming 24-70L IS

All these speculations are making my imaginations go wild! I'm looking forward to what Canon will offer in the wide end.

Whatever it is, you'll have to buy three copies to get a really sharp one.

Couldn't be an ef-s with both 10-22 and 17-55 out there.

IF it is a 14-24 (L presumably) that would be interesting, especially if it's aimed at the highly regarded Nikon equivalent. Putting IS in it might even make more sense since Canon will probably want to keep the 16-35L in the lineup... We already know this lens is going to cost an arm+leg anyway IF it ever materializes.

Fun to speculate

Witness my seat-of-the-pants logic:

The 16-35L II has 16 elements in 12 groups.

The Nikon 14-24 has 14 elements in 11 groups.

These patent drawings show 11 elements in ? groups?

The EF-S 18-35 has 11 elements in 9 groups.

So you're free to conclude the similarities are not like the Nikkor nor the L

I count 14 elements in one diagram and 15 in another.

wow if this was a 14-24L IS with even comparable IQ to the 14 f/2.8LII it would pee all over the Nikon 14-24G

I don't think so based on the design of the front elements, which indicate it to be a lens with much wider angle of coverage (and is mentioned in the patent description).

Also, if you take look into the 16-35 zoom from the lens mount (probably also the 17-40, but I don't own one), you'll notice that as you zoom to the 'tele' end, the rear elements move forward towards the front group, just like in the patent diagrams. It's easy to overlook because it all happens inside the lens housing.

Yes those front elements are indicative of UWA, highly aspherical and very large to minimise vignetting wide open. Looks just like front of 17 TS-E or Nikon 14-24

I couldn't imagine this not happening and quickly. An upgrade to the heavy and huge 24-70 would be nice as well. Nikon released its 90mm Macro patent and two weeks later it was out on the wire. Cant wait to see this one..

Why would you need IS on an ultra wide?
