Canon has announced a New Years gift for all the L-series addicts out there: A shiny new 70-200mm f2.8L IS II USM EF lens, featuring a revised optical design, optimised AF performance and reduced minimum focus distance to 1.2m (the original was 1.4m).

Canon has released details of a new 100mm f2.8 EF macro lens with image stabilisation. This supercharged version will sit alongside the current EF 100mm f2.8 macro lens, adding new hybrid IS technology, L-series designation, weather sealing, and ultra-low dispersion (UD) glass to the mix.

The new Canon EF 24mm f1.4 L II USM lens sets out to achieve the gold standard for wide-angle prime lenses. As the amount of pixel-power available in our cameras continues to grow, great optics become essential to get top quality images. The release of this upgraded lens is superb timing from Canon, as the 20+ megapixel horizon becomes reality for more photographers thanks to the EOS 5D Mark II.
