New 180 mm macro lens with IS ??

[tommykjensen]

Is this a new lens we have not heard about or is it a typo ?

Note the IS.


Look here: http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/EF_Lenses/index.asp

The flash animation runs through a series of photos with the lens name listed.

Dang it - just when I though I had all the lenses I needed....

I bet it's a typo by a web designer who likely knows nothing about Canon's lens terminology

edit: oops old thread

The thread isnt that old and I bet youre right anyway. While I do feel that lens is in need of either an upgrade at the same price point or a drop in price, if canon does do it they need to make it 2.8 with IS to take it to the next level. That lens is so old all the other manufacturers have caught up and made equal quality lenses.
