Following the Nikkor 17-55 great popularity, and great lens, what are the chances of Canon launching a QUALITY version of it ever ?

Theorethically though, they could discontinue the 16-35 f/2.8 for a new 17-55 f/2.8 (like they've done with the now discontinued 17-35 f/2.8 )

It maybe a WEB master error, but nevertheless it's there ... I don't trust information coming from a site that is only accessed via tha IP address. Give me an offical Canon registered url and I will believe EDITING OF MY PHOTOS IS NOT ALLOWED
