Re: Poll: What lens do you want to see next?

I'd love to see the EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS get the STM treatment next -- improved build, at least up to par with the 18-135 STM (smoother zoom, no creep and/or lock switch), "silent" AF and IS like the 10-18/18-55/18-135/55-250 STMs, and perhaps a little more compact like the Sigma/Tamron 17-50 2.8's.

Zoom or prime, there are currently no fast (at least f/2.8), constant-aperture STM lenses with IS or truly silent AF (the EF 40mm 2.8 and EF-S 24mm 2.8 STMs are noisier than the STM zooms).  This seems like a gap for getting the most out of the video DPAF feature of the 70D and 7D2 in quiet environments using on-board mics.
