Canon has announced two lenses for its EOS system. The EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM is designed as a relatively compact image-stabilized standard zoom for full frame SLRs, and will be offered as a kit with the EOS 6D. It includes a Macro setting offering an impressive 0.7x magnification, backed up by Canon’s Hybrid IS that promises increased effectiveness at close distances. It’s also weather-sealed, and will be available from mid-December at an RRP of £1499.99 / €1459. Meanwhile the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM features an all-new optical design, and includes image stabilization and an ultrasonic focus motor. It will be in on sale early December for £799.99 / €849. Both lenses will work on full frame and APS-C cameras.
