New Canon f/2.8 wide-angle zoom lens set to replace the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens. Earlier its release date scheduled for 2016, but now it is said to become available after the introduction of the EF 35mm f/1.4L II lens.
Canon has changed focal lengths a couple of times for this kind of lens. The first in the line was the EF 20-35mm f/2.8L and then the EF 17-35mm f/2.8L and most recently two version of the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L.
