UPDATE: the page has been removed.

It seems DigitalRev wants to be first when the pre-order game for new gear will start. After the EOS 5D Mark IV and EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS Mark II product pages, also the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L Mark III product page went online. As with the other two, there are no specs nor pictures.

All this gear will soon be announced, most likely August 25/26, 2016. Click here to see all EF 16-35mm f/2.8L Mark III rumors.

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM replacement coming soon

Is this the patent for the next EF 24-105mm F4L IS lens?

Ef 24-105mm F4L IS

A few weeks ago a rumor suggested that Canon may announce a new EF 24-105mm F4L IS lens along with the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. Both are expected to be announced in August, ready for Photokina 2016.

This may easily be the pertinent patent for the new EF 24-105mm F4L IS Mark II.

New Canon EF 24-105 F4L IS lens coming with EOS 5D Mark IV, rumor suggests [CW3]

Ef 24-105mm F4L IS

A new rumor suggests Canon will announce a replacement for the venerable Canon EF 24-105mm F4L IS USM lens.

The Canon EF 24-105mm F4L IS Mark II is expected to be announced before Photokina 2016, together with the upcoming Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, also expected to be announced in August 2016.

The Canon EF 24-105mm F4L IS USM was announced in 2004, a new version is entirely plausible. The EF 24-105mm F4L IS was the typical kit lens for Canon’s full-frame DSLRs.

A few days ago, we had a possible leak of an image of the EOS 5D Mark IV. The picture was posted on Instagram and soon after it was removed.

Stay tuned for more!

Replacement for Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM non-L lens coming in August? [CW4]

EF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS USM

New reports suggest Canon will soon announce a new version of the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens.

No specs are available for the time being, nor is the price which I guess will be below $500. The announcement is expected for August 2016. I think this rumor is pretty solid.

The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM that’s going to replace has these specs:

  • EF Mount Lens
  • Aperture Range: f/4-45
  • Ultra-Low Dispersion Elements
  • Two Mode Optical Image Stabilization
  • Ultrasonic Autofocus Motor
  • Circular Aperture Diaphragm
  • Zoom Ring Lock Lever
  • Super Spectra Lens Coating
  • Minimum Focus Distance: 4.9′
  • 58mm Filter Thread Diameter

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III set to be announced next month? [CW4]

EF 16-35mm F/2.8L II

New reports suggest the replacement for the highly regarded EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens may be announced in June 2016.

The upcoming Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III will for sure top the lens it replaces. Quoting the source of the rumor:

A person who has used the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III says it’s every bit as good as the recent L offerings from Canon and “solves the most glaring weaknesses of the current version.”

I think this rumor has a high probability to be reliable. Stay tuned…
