    I'm a long time user of a EF 85mm f1.2 II L. I love the look and teh files it turns in. However, my biggest issue with it is it's AF...

    I do not find the use of resins shocking or disturbing. My little cheap RF 28mm f/2,8 is at least as sharp as my Leica M Asph 28mm...

    Interesting! There is no RF 50mm f/1.4 lens from Canon though, unless you meant the RF 50mm f/1.4L VCM? But you said no L series lenses...

    Looking forward to have a cheap&small 85/f1.2... I guess it'll be marketed as something resembles to EF 85mm f1.2L

    That is not hope, the Mannschaft just followed Gary Lineker’s definition of football: “Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a...

    Probably both. For example, a recent Canon 600/4 patent was 588mm f/4.12. That’s consistent with my EF 600/4 II, where the front element...

    My Sigma 10-18 APS-C lens, the filter size is 67mm but the front element is 35.5mm. At the other extreme Pentax used to make a 200 f/2.5...

    Once again...why do you think Canon has to 'compete against Sony' in this segment, lens-for-lens? Did you spend 6 years saying that Sony...
  • Eloniel
    It's a threat if the 70-180/200 is at 4000€ vs the 100-300 at 10000€. They can't really make a 70-180/200 at 10000 because the Sony...

    The front element of a 70-180/2 zoom would need to be 90 mm in diameter, or so. FYI, even though the 28-70/2 is a fat lens and takes...
  • Eloniel
    If it's not 180mm they would have to do a 70-160 or 70-170mm f2.0 if they want to have the world first title. As said they don't have a...
  • Exploreshootshare
    Yes, Canon needs a diet for this lens. The weight (and a fair bit the bulk, too) has kept me from purchasing it because it just too...
  • Exploreshootshare
    Germany sucked yesterday, but I kept watching because I hoped they'd turn it around. Ta-da, they actually did it. So sometimes, hope is...

    Depends what you mean. Psychologically, maybe? In the minds of a few fans. But these lenses are so esoteric their sales are probably...
  • P-visie
    Hope = deferred disappointment 😉. A 180mm f2 lens would need a front element with a 90mm diameter, that is about the size of the front...
  • R
    Oh wow... a 70-180 f/2 would be a world's first on any mount! I wonder what size and weight it would have to be. Seems like a fantastic...
