Three new EF lenses from Canon

I'm a little confused by this one.


Four stop IS on wide angle primes? They managed to slow down the aperture from the 28 1.8 for more depth of field and IS; then just threw in the IS on the 24 2.8, uhh? They forgot to put the IS on the 24-70 II..

Interesting.

do want that 24 2.8 IS prime, with some USM, not a bad lens. I love having IS for video, and with a WA you usually dont get it.

24 1.8 USM would be much better, but I guess that would bite into their market for the 24L. Currently I'm shooting a lot with a Pentax Takumar 28 3.5 and I'm loving the focal length so dependent on the price I may have to jump on this. I was considering the 30 1.4 from sigma as well but it's less attractive seeing as it's only for APS-C crop sensors and eventually I want to carry most of my glass over to FF. Lame.

Full frame is awesome man, definitely make the switch at some point :D

and the siggys are hit or miss, better that you waited for these lenses. I'm hoping for an entire IS USM line of primes, for 24/28/35/50/85, that'd be so sick

Do you guys think I should return my 24-70mm? I just bought it 10 days ago!

I'm pissed the 24-70 isn't IS, looks like I'm just gonna pick up an old copy.

This. They're fucking up badly.

Especially since Tamron released a 24-70 f/2.8 wíth IS and USM

I'm blown away by the price of the 24-70 II. Thats crazy. I've been holding off buying the MKI version for about a year now. I'll wait for a comparison, but seriously.
