I guess the title says it all. I know this has been talked about for some time; for a while even by a Canon insider. Does anyone know if this is going to be a reality and maybe even soon?

The IS is just going to add even more weight and its a studio lens. If an IS version was going to come out Nikon would have already came out with one.

This fallacy about significant weight with IS just won't die. The 70-200's with and without IS are very close in weight, and canon already has IS in the standard crop lens. As for the 24-70 being a "studio lens", I can say from firsthand experience that there are a LOT of wedding photogs with 24-70's.

With them coming out with the new 70-200mk2, I would expect one to be coming out when the 1Dsmk4 come outs. It would only make sense. Studio lens? To me it's more of a walkabout lens than anything. I for one would welcome an IS version for evening shots with failing light. Of course I've been known to use a 70-200 as a walkabout lens so I guess weight isn't that big of a deal to me.
