CANON LENSES: Gaps in the line

This is a major failing of the Canon Marketing team in my opinion.  Looking over the Fall 2010 EOS System catalog, the most glaring need is in the area of the Canon 15-85mm 3.5-5.6 IS USM.  Canon needs to make a slightly wider version of this maybe 12-85mm.  However, this would be IDEAL as an "L" Series 2.8 Lens to satisfy those of us using APS-C sensor cameras.

The Existing lineup of L Series lenses has only a 16-35mm 2.8L USM and new fisheye 8-15mm.  These are hardly good for portraits.  The L-Series lenses that are made are the 24-70 2.8L and the 24-105 4.0L.  Nice, but not wide enough as was outlined in the chart of my previous post.

The Canon solution is for me to sell all my APS-C cameras and get a couple of FULL FRAME Cameras like the Canon 5D Mark IIs, and that is considerably more painful than buying one lens.
