IF this is truly the next conception of the 24-70 2.8, Canon has made a few big mistakes. If Canon is serious about videographers (they\'ve proven to be recently) then they must put IS in the new 24-70. No IS in a 2.8L lens is the biggest complaint I constantly hear from video crews and why people are dumping their 5D2\'s for 7D\'s and in some cases switching manufacturers. Not only that, there\'s nothing about a new 24-70 without IS that would pull me away from my current one. Not at that price. If it came out in the under $1400 range then maybe but an $1800 lens without IS is a complete waste. I really can\'t seen anyone from the 24-105 crew jumping over to this lens either if it didn\'t have IS and stellar image quality.
All that aside, I really hope Canon is paying a good bit of attention to Bokeh quality with the new lens.
