After the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L Mark II was announced at the beginning of this year, many photographers were disappointed that it didn't include Image Stabilization.

When the new IS lens was unveiled in November, it was an f/4 lens rather than an f/2.8.

If you're one of the many people who wanted both the convenience of having IS and the benefits of having f/2.8, here's some good news: there is indeed a 24-70mm f/2.8 IS on the way.

If you've been yearning for a "Brick" (as the 24-70mm used to be called) with IS, here's some good news: the lens reportedly exists, and may already be floating around in the wild for initial tests.
