Canon have upgraded some of their 'big dog' white lenses, a new 'not-sure-who-will-buy-it' L-series zoom, the two extenders and also a fish-eye zoom too! They're also on the case updating the 500mm and 600mm f/4 lenses too (Due December 2011)...
Canon EF 300 f/2.8 L IS II and 400 f/2.8 L IS II
As a wildlife photographer, these are the most exciting lenses. I've hired the 300 f/2.8 L IS for trips to the Arctic and Namibia and would struggle to fault its quality. Well, it's been improved alongside its closest brother, both with new design and materials meaning a welcome weight saving too.
