As to why the primes would exist, *if* the leading rumour holds out that the 24-70 replacement won't have IS, then those primes start to make some sense as it is providing something new for full frame users. At least I can't think of any other 24 or 28mm IS f/2.8

I think releasing either the 24mm or 28mm makes sense but releasing them both really doesn't make sense to me. They
are just too close in FL/features to have the extra costs of research/production.
