Any hope for a Canon 24-70 f/2.8L IS lens?

[cfusionpm]

The more I read about the 17-55 2.8 IS the more I feel it's the right choice for me. Its not an L, and its an EF-S, but it has excellent image quality and excellent low light performance with f/2.8 AND IS. Price is comperable to either of the two L lenses, but without a full frame in the near future, I think this lens fits my needs best.

Has anyone heard anything new on if there might be a 24-70 2.8L IS in the works?

I want to buy a 24-70 2.8L, and would probably hold out for the IS version if I knew it was coming.

I did a quick google, and found nothing new...

1 stop of light is twice as much light.

two pennies are twice as many pennies as one! Still not a huge difference.
1/8 isnt much better than 1/4 for shooting sports! (just sayin)

FYI,

I found new info about a 24-70 2.8L replacement on canonrumors.com.

It does not answer the question of IS or not though.

I have the canon 24-70 f/2.8 L, when I take a photo of more than one person in the photo. The front one is very sharp but the others are fuzzy. What am I doing wrong?

You should start your own thread... but


If you are shooting at an aperture of f/2.8, the Depth of Field is probably too shallow for the photo. The person in front is sharp within the DOF while the others are fuzzy (outside DOF)

First question to consider, do you understand aperture and depth of field?
