which lenses will be introduced this month?

i saw a post that Canon is introducing new or an improved line of lenses at the end of this month??? True???

any idea which lenses?

Maybe not in August, but in September, for sure: a 100 f2,8 macro with IS. This would include the new Hybrid IS system. At least, I hope this is announced.

It's all speculation really. A lot of people want a 24-70L IS, updated 70-200 f/2.8 IS and possibly a new and improved 100-400. There are also rumors of prime updates. Really nothing too legitimate at this point IMO, so we'll just have to wait and see...

I hope they don't make these lenses new version. I have all of them, and if they release new versions, i will want to trade them in :/

just curious if you guys know, but are there any shows or events that they typically introduce new lenses - like with set dates to look forward to? or are new lenses just usually announced around this time of the year?

It would be nice if Canon would introduce a NEW focal length lens or two, instead of just "updating" current lenses. An EF 300-500 f2.8-4 L. I.S. lens would be nice, as would an EF12-24 f2.8L lens.

As far as updating current lenses go, I wouldn't mind seeing an EF 600mm f4L I.S. II lens that weighs UNDER 10 lbs, and has MFD of 12 feet.

i could see the 12-24 eventually appearing...but not likely for the other 2.

I could see the 12-24 appearing but I think it might be f/4. A 14-24/2.8 (like the Nikon) will be nice though.

i hope you guys are right ! i would LOVE a 12-24 2.8 .

Just about any lens older than a decade old.

EF 17-40/4L IS.

there are far better candidates to add IS to besides this.

i want an EF version of the 17-55mm 2.8 IS that handles flare well with, is as sharp (or sharper) as the current EF-S 17-55mm, has an excellent QC process on it's way out the factory (0 bad copies), and L build quality. make it so, canon!

lol
