New Canon Lenses Shown at Photo Plus Expo

Since Photo Plus Expo is just around the corner the camera announcements are starting to show up. Yesterday Canon made such an announcement with this press release that they will be exhibiting two new lenses that are under development. The new lenses are a Canon EF200mm f/2L IS USM and EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM. The 200mm f/2.0 to replace the discontinued 200mm f/1.8 which was mourned by many photographers since it was one of the sharpest lenses Canon ever made. I'm sure the new 200mm will live up to its predecessor’s expectations but only testing will tell. The 800mm I’m sure will be larger than the 12lb 600mm, so I'm sure not many photographers will just carry this around casually. I wish they'd replace the outdated 100-400mm with a similar 200-400 f/4.0 like Nikon has.
