More details have been leaked online for the next L lens from Canon which could be named as EF 16-35mm f/2.8 Mark III lens.
According to latest Canon rumors, the next “L” lens from Canon will be a fast wide-angle zoom lens with a bright aperture of f/2.8. There are two candidates for this lens which might be the long rumored EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III lens or EF 15-35mm f/2.8L lens.
The replacement for the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM wide-angle zoom lens is said to be in development and the announcement could be in the next several months, mostly when EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM lens stock levels are good.

The new Canon f/2.8 wide-angle zoom lens is in the works and that it would be a very good alternative to the recently launched EF 11-24mm f/4L USM lens. The rumored fast wide angle zoom lens also required which is expected to be lighter, cheaper and easier to use than the EF 11-24 f/4L too.
Event and indoor photographers would be very happy with wider focal length version, but the question is the price of this lens. Currently Canon’s first ultra-wide L-series EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens which feature image stabilisation is priced for $1,199.
