Lenses that I want based on existing patents....

[Radiating]

All full frame pro lenses:


16-35mm f/2.8 IS - Based on the specs this should be even sharper than the existing 16-35mm f/2.8, but much more expensive.

135mm 1.8 IS - This lens would not be especially hard to manufacture and is in bad need of an update.

55-300mm f/2.8-f/4.0 IS  - This particular way of making this lens has f/2.8 until 140mm!!, doubles as a 77-420mm f/4.0-f/5.6 with a 1.4 TC  - 5 ED elements!!! If it were good it would be very exciting.

50mm 1.2 which isn't soft like the current Canon version:

Yes I know these are all from Nikon Rumors, but I hope Canon is watching them and responds.

These would be profoundly amazing

Guess you better get yourself a Nikon body, and spend time on your knees praying for Nikon to release those lenses. 

What is the point of this post, anyway?  Oh wait, now I remember - you're the guy that Canon screwed over.  I guess it's happening again, with Canon not releasing lenses specifically for you.  Boo hoo.

I don't get this post. I thought the lens all Canon people were waiting for was a 14-24.

If Nikon makes a 50mm 1.2 with AF, a 135mm f/1.8 and radio flash units, I'd jump ship at that point.

If Nikon makes a 50mm 1.2 with AF w/ better optics than the current 50L, a 135mm f/1.8 and radio flash units, I'd jump ship at that point.

What you have is a list of patents.

For example, you state:

50mm 1.2 which isn't soft like the current Canon version:

All I see are drawings with numbers.  Come back and talk when this lens is released and there are reviews on it.

He's right about one thing - the 50 F/1,2L is soft as shite!
That and the funky focus shifting - seriously?
