Release: New 50mm f/1.4 II USM Canon Lens By 25th of March

There will be a couple of announcements to be made by 25th of March by Canon. It seams that a new improved lens will be one of them. I don’t what exactly will be improved, but I am guessing a new Ultra Sonic Motor to facilitate a better and faster focusing, and I am guessing that it will be sharper than the previous model.

Also there is a new rumor that on the same day the new Canon TSi/500D will see the daylight. Although the first rumor said that this is going to be released at the PMA ( check this ), but it wasn’t released then. Anyway, we will wait an see.

Ohh and here is a list of specs for those of you who didn’t read the first post about this Canon TSi/500D:

• 15.1 Megapixels
• ISO: 100-3200
• Image procesor: DIGIC IV
• LCD: 3″ VGA LCD
• Crop: 1.6x
• FPS: 3 raw/3jpg
