If the new Canon 24-70 gets IS or not has been long and pointlessly discussed since the beginning of time. I'd like it, but I'm not holding my breath on it.
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 FF capable lenses right now other than the just announced Tamron. I guess the question still remains who would be interested in them? Any use for budget handheld video?
