New from Canon, Eos EF24-105f4 L USM IS
Standard zoom lens 24-105mm, fast f/4 aperture
Super ** glass lens with two types of aspherical elements which effectively correct aberration
Image Stabilizer gives equivalent effective shutter speed three stops faster during hand-held use
Optimised lens coating to minimise ghosting and flare
High dust and moisture resistance
Closest focus distance of 45cm at all zoom focal lengths
Circular aperture producing attractive bokeh
Inner focusing, ring USM and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing
Manual focusing enabled even during AF mode (full-time mechanical manual focus)
Only environmentally friendly lead-free glass used in lens construction

Now this could be the lens I've been waiting for.
It will deffinately fill the gap between the 17-35 and the 100-400, and its only another 670g in the kit bag.
It will be interesting to see what the price will be when it arrives on these shores.
Initial R.P. in the UK: £799
