- anything below 50mm as a prime: skip the IS and drop the USM - yes MF only - upgrade lens coating, seals and shellcase, and ofcourse any real technical optical improvement is welcome( less flare, CA)

If Canon would actually dare to release a MF prime they will probably charge extra for it. They'll sell it as some super duper mad-skillz-pro-photographer must have lens.

I'd like to see your CAD Canon camera come to life.  FF 50 fast prime, no mirror.

Love the picture of the photographer in the mist. The outline of the guy where the lens can be made out with clarity is amazing.

Thanks, the RAW is nice, and that was on my 50D,

SWMBO gave me a slip for Xmas for a 200 f/2L. Not decided yet as I have an abundance of lens covering 200mm. IQ is excellent though - what a great capture too!!

Looks like it will come next week

You ordered it eh?  It's awesome, it was this or a motorcycle, lens costs less and is safer.

Have the motorcycle - this will go in the back box easier than the 600

And the most photographed animal in the world! The Token Cat photo, never thought i'd post a cat photo but it's El TIgre and he is a cool cat! He stayed by us for prob 4 hrs strait out there.

No, no, no, you're doing it wrong. Cat photos are taken with cell phones and are heavily back lit.

What seems odd is the 24IS and 28IS.  Why two lenses so similar, but we still have a 50/1.4 and 1.8 that are long over due for an overhaul?

Translated from Italian via Google:

Hi!
I ask for advice
I have a Canon 550D
I am interested in the 70-200 f / 4
I can not figure out whether it makes sense to spend twice as stabilizer
I'd use it for my travels
thanks

Yes, IS is worth the extra cost if you can afford it.  Remember, IS does nothing for subject movement.

I was thinking of a shrink wrap, but it might not be clear enough to shoot through.
