I have see rumors of an updated version of this lens for years. Currently, I do not see it on the roadmap coming to market anytime soon. It appears that Canon is focusing on bringing new lenses for their Mirrorless cameras
I have recently started shooting sports video for H.S. age youth soccer teams using my EOS 6D MKII. I shoot on a Monopod with a fluid head. I have tried my 100 - 300 lens and my 70 - 200 lens. I find that the positions I am forced to shoot from require a wider view than 70mm at times and often a zoom further than 200 mm at times.
Frankly, a 50 to 210 would serve me well however I can't find one.
The closest range I can find is 28 - 300.
Has anyone used the 28 - 300 L lens for video?
Thanks
George

You will need deep pockets and long arms to get the Canon L version. Tamron's version is way more affordable....

Why the long arms? I know it is a push-pull zoom, however I see that as a benefit. I had trouble with twist zoom. 250mm is prox 10"
I looked at non Canon glass, my concern is fast, smooth zoom.

You can always get one of these, but it will set you back $44K, and it only covers Super 35 mm format

I am selling mine.
The problem is that the "PL" mount doesn't work with my camera.
