Nah... not those.

There are actually very few "holes" out there I would want, there are definitely some I would like a cheaper price though.

One change I would make is to have a different "mid range" zooms, on pretty much all lineups.

I'd rather have a 35-105 2.8 in the middle instead of the 24-70...

Even if that lens were as large as a 70-200 / 2.8, which it most likely would be?

Basically lens designs went from 35-70, to 28-70, to 24-70. I think it should have gone the other way...

My thinking is that *if* a 35-70 / 2A (OS) were around the same size (or not much larger than) a 24-70 / 2.8A OS, then some would prefer that compromise to carrying some combination of a 35 / 1.4, 50 / 1.4, and 85 / 1.4 -- I would be one such person.

But, like I said in the beginning, I absolutely expect my position to be am extreme minority position.  That said, people who buy the 24-35 / 2A are an extreme minority, and Sigma made that, just as people who buy a 200 / 2L IS are an extreme minority, and Canon makes that.
