Is Canon’s 35mm f/1.4L due for a refresh?

Canon 35mm f/1.4L

Could the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L be due for a refresh?

In the past few years, Canon has refreshed the 14mm f/2.8L, the 24mm f/1.4L, the 85mm f/1.2L, the TS-E 24/3.5L, all to the “II” version. As well as the 16-35mm f/2.8L II, which is still rather disappointing.

Improved means optical designs and lens coatings, and in some cases, improved focusing and/or ergonomics. Worthwhile efforts and a clear move forward in every case.

While it’s an excellent lens, and well worth owning (I have it), there is no doubt that at the least, the lens coatings could be improved for better color.

But I think Canon could probably raise the performance level too. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new version at Photokina in September, but that’s just a guess.

In the meantime, it’s a very fine lens, and at about $1369, relatively inexpensive for top Canon glass. If you need a 35mm, and you need AF, it’s a great choice.
