The EF to RF adapter is just a hollow tube because the RF mount is physically closer to the sensor than the EF mount (20mm vs 44mm) so...

Yes, it is a hollow tube...but not an extension tube. An extension tube is something that positions the lens such that the lens mount is...

I admit that I'm not an expert in optics and that I've never seen the optical design for the 200-400mm. I see your point, but I have 2...

I'll reply for the benefit of others who may read this thread, in the hope that your cluelessness doesn't engender false hope in others...

I think people have said mirrorless/short flange distance (if that's the term) means the elements for some focal lengths can essentially...

Well of course :)
Apart from holding the camera from the lens (usually), it's not that I operate a lot of controls on the lenses...

What is your source, is it fully reliable?

Well, you've done an excellent job of showing everyone what sort of person you prefer to be, which is that you

A 1.4x TC built into a lens does not have to be any different to a separate 1.4x TC added to a lens. The lens is simply designed to...

No amount of (claimed) education can cover for the miserable person you actually are.

We have very different priorities, and that's perfectly fine. Ergonomics are important, which is why I prefer bodies with an integrated...
m4ndr4ke replied to the thread Canon Shows off Interesting RF 55mm & RF 85mm F1.8 Designs.
To me, it's the combination of everything. That includes optical performance, build quality and refinement, and the first alone is not...

Any new 600 f/4 is going to be expensive, but if the zoom is built as a variable TC (i.e. magnifier), rather than the more elaborate...
neuroanatomist replied to the thread Canon Shows off Interesting RF 55mm & RF 85mm F1.8 Designs.
Oh, I think it is. They made one of the elements an aspherical, but it's still the same basic 6-element, 5-group, double Gauss design...

A 1x-1.4x switchable TC is NOT just a matter of 'adapting it into a separate teleconverter'. A teleconverter mounted behind a lens, with...

The RF 50/1.8 is not a reshuffle of the EF 50/1.8.
If it’s a reshuffle (or rather a modern update) of anything then it’s the 40/1.7 of...
neuroanatomist replied to the thread Canon Shows off Interesting RF 55mm & RF 85mm F1.8 Designs.
I assumed so, and probably when he stated, "Essentially nearly none of the RF lenses in the "normal" focal length range make me proud to...

For what dental care costs here, ours could easily afford them.
John D P replied to the thread Report: New Canon Super Telephoto Lenses Coming in May.
Since, the current 400 & 600 primes are EF lenses adapted to the RF mount; their due for a refresh. Before the world cup would make...

A 600-1200 f/4-f/8 zoom would be a nice twist and much more useful that dual TCs.

I can't really see 85/1.8 non-IS being an upgrade over 85/2 IS. I'd pick IS over an extra third of a stop, anytime.
What the 85/2...

I'm thinking more like a tommy gun implementation:
In which case we could also get 4x, 8x, and 16x extenders that spin into place for...

Maybe it's both? ;)
Rochester replied to the thread Report: New Canon Super Telephoto Lenses Coming in May.
I would like any telephoto lens to be as light as possible. I owned the FD 400mm 2.8 and at over 6Kg with a camera body it was very...
