Has anyone got the scoop on new lenses to be released by Canon this year? Body rumors are everywhere; I've got a 5D so unless something stellar in the way of new bodies comes along, I'm more interested in new lenses. Please share if you've heard anything.

Regards,
Nate

Obviously an EF-S 18-200mm f/ 3,5-5,6 IS USM...but I'm sure that we will see some more.

24-70/2.8 IS.

The only thing more depressing than waiting for new cameras is waiting for new lens announcements.

The have been no credible rumours other than the 18-200 which rates zero on my interest scale anyway. Most other rumours are mere wishlists.

Is that a wish, a rumour or a fact?

I second that zero interest in an 18-200. I really really want an updated 100-400 and a 400 f/5.6 with IS.

we can only hope...if they put it out along side a 135 f/2 IS and a 14-24 f/2.8 its going to be a very expensive upcoming couple of months--especially if a 5D successor is announced.

why is there no interest in the 18-200 surely as an allrounder leave it on your camera it should be pretty handy?

for the simple reason that quality might not be acceptably on such a zoom lens !

24-70 2.8 is fine on a full frame camera IMO

It's a fact that it's a rumour

For some uncertain reason credible lens rumors/leaks are scarce compared to camera bodies.
Some of us had been anticipating lenses like 50 f/1.2 and 200 f/2.0 IS, however, those were merely speculations based on historical Canon lens lineup as well as current Nikkor offerings.

Not a rumor, just a wish. The only lens I need now is a 14-24 with the IQ of the Nikon. F4 is fast enough and please no IS on WA lenses.

Hi,

I'm looking for getting 24..105/4LIS.
Do you think it shall be updated anytime soon, in 1..2 years?

Thanks, Endre

I'd be very interested in this lens, combined with a fast prime like my 50/1.4, as a very light travel kit for vacation...

Boy I hope so!

CW, is that from your Canon Australia buddies or you're guessing ?

There is some evidence that Canon will come out with a 18-200 IS lens. According to Bob Atkins the Chinese Canon site that apparently leaked the 50D announcement included a picture of the 50D with an 18-200 IS attached. Here is the link in which Atkins discusses it:

I personally couldn't care less, however, as I have zero interest in this lens either.

Best wishes,

Steve

A new 200-400 to keep up with Nikon

That is always a solid basis for new EF lens predictions.
Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Neither would a price of $7k or so.
Unfortunately the cursed 400DO may stand in the way of that lens and perhaps a few more.

The 18-200 IS is the only one I see that is a fairly solid rumour.

Nah, it's only 2-3 years old. No chance.

An updated 24mm TS-E would be appropriate if Canon wants to play keeps up with the Nikonian's.

Because it won't fit on my 5D...

I'd love to see an upgrade to the 70-200 f/2.8IS lens similar to what was done with the 16-35 and the 70-200 f/4IS.

"rumors" not "wishlist"
