Will they ever come out with a 24-105 IS 2.8?

I know the 24-105L IS F4 is a really great lens but do you ever think they will come out with a 2.8 IS version like they did with the 70-200?


20D, 17-85 kit lens, 70-200 F4, 50 1.4, Amvona AT CF 994 Tripod, Manrotto Monopod that I have never used and a 580EX Flash

It would be nice but I believe the size, weight & cost would be prohibitive. The present 24-105 is a great lens and personaly I would find making it about 8mm wider would be a much more desirable change than one stop faster.

If they did, I'd certainly buy it. :)

It would have to be bigger and heavier than the current 24-70L, so that is unlikely since the 24-70L is about as large anyone is likely to want to carry around. They could probably make it a variable aperture, 24-105 f/2.8-4, like the original 28-70L but that seems to be a negative characteristic for most people.
