We’re told that the eagerly anticipated Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II is now being tested by select photographers and should be to market within the next 6 months. An announcement date hasn’t yet been set, but expect it some time in 2015.

The new lens will have the latest coatings from Canon, dust and weather resistant, a smaller filter thread (67mm?), and will be physically longer than the current version. The difference in weight wasn’t known, but I suspect it’ll be very close to the current lens.

More to come…
