Two Canon lenses and a flash show up at certification authority (EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS?)

Nokishita spotted some more unreleased Canon gear that has been registered at a certification authority.

The list:

• Interchangeable lens 1
  • SKU: 2309C005AA
  • made in Japan
• Interchangeable lens 2
  • SKU: 2439C005AA
  • made in Japan?
• DS 401141
  • Electronic flash
  • SKU: 1757C003

It appears a fact that at least one of the lenses above is manufactured in Japan, which usually means the Utsunomiya factory. This factory produces Canon’s “L”-grade lenses. One of the listed lenses may be the long rumored EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS, i.e. Canon’s first image stabilised 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Another lens that is rumored since a while is he Canon EF 135mm f/2L IS. However, I consider the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS more likely to be announced, since Canon still doesn’t have an image stabilised 24-70mm f/2.8L lens.

I expect both lenses to be announced before end of the year. We’ll see soon, so stay tuned.
