Oops, I had it in my mind both the new lenses (18-135) had IS. Well then I take it back, I don\'t think it\'s great value at all for a slow 40mm lens at all with stepper motor rather than USM.
You\'re right, it is expensive considering it\'s not USM and is slow, but it is a pancake, and I\'m a sucker for pancakes. Canon only charges twice what they do for their faster 50mm f/1.8, which is all we can expect from them now.
BTW - I think if you get a new 35mm it will be a) slow, b) extremely expensive, and bringing up the read with a very distant c) could have IS....
I\'d still get a Ultron 40 f/2 II if I wanted a pancake.
I forgot to mention I\'m more hopeful Sigma will deliver a fast 35mm, in light of their 50/85 f/1.4. before Canon ever updates the 35 f/2.
