Canon, please make a standard zoom with f/2.8 and IS....

something like a 16-85 f/2.8

I’d love to see something with this range (and capabilities) too. But Canon would have to break out of that darn “maximum size” mold first. I think the zoom range would need to be pared down too in order to keep the complexity and costs down to a manageable level (not to mention size ).

A lens with these capabilities would also compete directly with the EOS-R lens line (philosophy), and would likely be nixed in the bud. The closest Canon lens available right now would be the venerable 17-55 f/2.8 IS (adapted). It’s large, but any lens with this range would be. However it’s a pretty good lens (DPReview used it in their evaluation of the M6ii). I had never seriously considered owning it before, but for some reason this camera can make any lens shine.
