10-500 mm f1.2 IS L series zoom, weather sealed, new generation IS, also available in black and weighs around 500g, canon's sharpest lens ever at the consumer price of around £30.

A man in the pub told me this.

iimarre - You'll find a load more of these unsubstantiated (Wishful thinking) rumours in the 'Rumour' Forums.

WELCOME to the forums by the way! :-)

Yeah, that one is true but it is a DO lens so as to save weight, as you say, and size. Good walkaround IMO and useful in lower light.

bit soft though at 500 mm...i was expecting it to be the same sharpness as my 70-400 2.8...

well, actually it is as sharp, but hey you cant complain for the money, right?

I heard there's a new 100-400mm coming out Any Day Now(TM). :D

[condyk]

Now that is likely to be true ... that sucker is ripe for retirement IMO.

The 400mm 5.6L will get IS. In a surprise move , Canon will not raise the price

So true...

A little brighter, weathersealing and new IS. Now we're talking.

Did he tell you that before or after he spilled his pint into his lap?
