    No RF mount!

    Sources of the rumours?

    A RF 200mm f4 macro lens would be great for my "needs". Support for the EF 180mm macro ends in 2027 so if Canon releases this lens...

    Latest rumors are that the lens will be a constant f5.6 with VCM design. Rumored time line is sometime in 2026. Was hoping for a...

    It would be nice if we finally get a successor of the EF 17-55mm 2.8. If it was below f/2.0 that would be a total game changer.

    True that - but I am a bit of a lens geek (like almost everyone here ;) ) so I do tend to get close and personal with lenses... I...

    On the fact that it is highly subjective, we agree to agree ;) I am so in love with my RF 85 1.2, and the fact that the 45mp of my R5...

    Short flange distance itself doesn't really impact IBIS performance. Of course over time IBIS has improved (better gyros, faster...

    I'd easily trade its macro ability for internal focusing, like I just did with the 35, which is gone and not to be missed, around here :D

    The macro is the best feature on the 85mm F2. It just needs a better AF motor and some weather sealing/ internal construction (but i...

    I'm aware, that's why I mentioned my experience with the old EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L, that took me to 200mm with IBIS alone, and using the...
  • mimbu
    IBIS is most effective at shorter focal lengths due to the nature of how it works -- the sensor can only move so far regardless of the...

    They were twins, you couldn't tell them apart unless you read the lettering I could see myself considering a lower end 100 to 135mm...

    What a great interesting lens and design with 17! lenses and "only" 12 groups. Might be a lens which is stellar from 1.4 - maybe...

    A step width I always liked and own in the old EF versions - the rest can be done be feet (mostly). But now a little bit spoiled by...

    The users’ desire for good quality OOF areas of the image is called out in the patent.

    Makes me wonder how it affects bokeh

    Then I’m confused. Previously you argued that lens IS is desirable in an updated MkII 28-70/2 and you stated: Your camera has IBIS...

    Whoa - this is making my head spin. It seems that for decades the objective was to reduce the reflection coefficients by means of...

    It's not that Canon didn't tell us, it's that Richard didn't pass along the full explanation. He hints at it, though, right at the...

    Sigma has one!

    Agree to disagree in a friendly, non-confrontational manner ;) I already don't see a significant difference between the 85 1.2 and...
