CANON LENS ROAD MAP
Lots of lenses mentioned
I received what appears to be some kind of lens roadmap. I only ever remember seeing a communication like this one once in the past. There are definitely some interesting concepts listed. Take all of this with the grain of salt.
EF 50 1.8 IS, status “prototype”, has tag “spring 2013″
EF 50 2.5 macro was tagged with “to be replaced”
EF 200 2.8 L IS macro is tagged with “testing”, “patents pending”, and “autumn 2013″
EF 24-70 2.8 L II tagged “final”, “winter 2011″
EF 100-400 4-5.6 L IS tagged “final”, “autumn 2012″
EF 35 1.4 L II tagged “prototype”, “winter 2012″
EF 60 L IS lens tagged “prototype”
Some odd duck EF-S zooms
EF-S 20-65 IS
EF-S 45-105 IS status “development”
EF-S 55-70 IS “testing”
EF-S 70-400 IS “prototype”
The one that seems the most interesting above is the EF 50 f/1.8 IS. That could become a replacement to the 50 f/1.4 and put some separation between it and the 50 f/1.2L.
