Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L Listed Again On Canon Germany’s Website

This morning I reported that the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L lens was no longer listed on Canon Germany’s website.

Now it is listed again. I’ve speculated that the fact the lens was no longer listed could mean that a replacement could be come in the next time. This made sense since rumors suggest we will see many new Canon lenses at Photokina 2014. But since it is listed again it was probably nothing more than a mistake.
