Canon EOS M & EF 800 f/5.6L IS
« on: July 25, 2012, 07:46:54 AM »
….. because you can
A friend of mine had a chance to play around with the new Canon EOS M. He did what I would have done the second I got my hands on the camera…. mount it to the lovely EF 800 f/5.6L IS.

Here’s what it looks like. I must say this looks like an extremely comfortable setup for general walk around birding.

Anyone slapped this thing onto the rear of EF 1200/5.6L? Or at least EF 800/5.6L, if 1200 is too difficult.
Now to find anyone with THE 1200mm...  ::)

When begins an era of producing dedicated sensors with electronics for specific lenses? :)

NOW obviously..just look at the "incredible" Canon M on the 800mm.

Did he happen to mention how long the combination took to focus?

Was there a monopod Photoshopped out of the picture?

Haha, this looks almost as ridiculous as an iPhone with a Photojojo SLR mount attached.

I think we have different definitions of "comfortable"...  Perhaps you're a bodybuilder?

But on a monopod this would rock.

Yes, Because of course the 800mm comes to mind when I think of a walk-around lens. We save so much weight when I use the M instead of an DSLR. ::)

Exactly! The M looks like an oversized lens cap.  ;D
