    My most wanted list, anything more to add?

    <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial;"]My most wanted list from Canon, anything more to be added?
    <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial;"]14-24/2.8L &ndash; Nikon has one and it&rsquo;s phenomenal.
    <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial;"]New 24-70/2.8L IS &ndash; I know people want it.
    <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial;"]New 35/1.4L II &ndash; I want it and will buy regardless the cost, I found myself use 35mm an awful lot and I desire huge aperture at this focal length.
    <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial;"]50/1.0L &ndash; Just bring it back and replace the current not so greatbut overly expensive 50/1.2.
    <p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial;"]200-400/4L IS &ndash; Nikon has one, and is appreciated.
    <p style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial;"]EOS 1D Mark IV &ndash; I know this camera will arrive just in a while. Hopefully it can match D3 in performance, FF and IQ while surpass it by offering better resolution. I will get one when available.

    The Nikon CLS system is superior to Canon's wireless ETTL flash system. How about building a 580EX with RadioPopper capabilities built in (and possibly a more friendly user interface)?

    <p class="MsoNormal"]Now, a sharp 50mm L lens that can focus reliably at multiple apertures.... yeah, I'd buy one immediately. Until then, unless they can 'fix' my 1.2, if the 1.4 works properly, I'll probably trade in towards that.

    I will use the 35/1.4L mostly wide open, just thinking if Canon can replace the current with the latest design that delivers excellent optical quality at wide apertures that will be great! I'm not interested in its stopped down performance as I will have my 24-70 to take care of it.


    I'm actually thinking of getting the Sigma 50/1.4 if a good Canon 50mm doesn't show up. Again, wide open performance is what i'm looking for, probably is what most people will pay attention on as well. There hasn't been a 50mm lens faster than f1.2 that is very sharp, but the aperture itself will be worth the money. My bottom line is to live with the Sigma, as it turns out to be not bad

    That would be nice, but my 16-35/2.8L will go retire...[]
