Fits with the April rumor of samples being tested.

All these replacements lead me to believe Canon has that high MP camera up their sleeve and once they have enough lenses that can resolve to a new high MP sensor they will pull the trigger and announce it...
A lighter 24-70 f/2.8 II without the strong field curvature of the current version
would be very nice indeed. I have tried the 24-105 but f4 is often too slow for me.

We should do a poll: How many would rather see the 24-70 mk2 with stabilization, and how many would prefer to do without stabilization just as long as they can shave a few ounces off the current lens' weight?
Personally, I'd go with the weight savings ANY day. But that's just because I handle these types of lenses for 10+ hrs a day, every week, plus other sessions. :-(

If the 5D3 has the 1Dx sensor ISO can easily compensate for the lack of IS, not sure how much weight it would save though?
I think Canon should do this poll and then deliver what we want

We're going to be replacing quite a few lenses pretty soon. The 24-70 is going to be a painful upgrade; it's our most popular rental item and we have quite a lot of them.
