    A MP-e 65mm replacement with autofocus would be a world premiere... I can't imagine buying a manual focus macro lense in 2026-2027.
  • GMCPhotographics
    Yes we'd all love to see a MP-e 65mm or a EF 180mm macro replacement. Even a zoom version that you've mentioned or alluded too would be...

    .....We don't think Canon is going to make some pointless prime like an RF 85mm f/1L. Sure, it'd be the only one out there, but that's...
  • AlanF
    They are probably still using film.
  • S
    It's an interesting case study of how a belief can take hold, regardless of the evidence (or in this case in the absence of evidence). I...

    It’s clear that forced distortion correction is triggering for some people. I’ve asked many such people to provide examples of those...
  • candyman
    When I think of a "World's First", I immediately think of a zoom: the TS-R 14-24mm f/3.5 with AF. But that is probably very optimistic...
  • candyman
    You can always add the 10-20 ;) Works well in densely built cities and also for landscapes with interesting subjects in the foreground...

    "Worlds first" :unsure: Maybe a full frame zoom with aperture below f2 then If its not the rumored 24-70mm, then maybe a 35-85mm f1.8L 🫠

    You beat me, mine is from 15mm to 560mm. Life is so unfair! ;)
  • candyman
    Soon I have a "holy trio" for travelling. It covers 10mm to 560mm. RF10-20mm, 20-50mm (pre-order) and RF100-400 with 1.4x. Pretty light...
  • Michael Clark
    You can only see diffraction at the DLA if the display is large enough to see individual pixels. In other words, viewing on a monitor at...
  • Michael Clark
    On the other hand, the EF to RF convertor might have been less than the cost of a full tank of gas for the car?
  • masterpix
    Well, not sure about the exat terminology, but if you ask me, going traveling, covering the focal length from 24mm to 800mm allowing...
  • Eloniel
    Or a variable multiplier macro lens with autofocus.
  • GMCPhotographics
    I'm guessing....highly likely. A RF TS-e is the only "new tech" that we've heard about on the rumour mill other than a funky 1/1.4/2x...
  • koenkooi
    But Sony heavily limits 3rd party lenses, you won't get proper FPS and AF. Something that Canon, strange as it may seem, isn't doing...
  • koenkooi
    I was about to reply with "My R8 disagrees", but then I realized this is not a lens for me, and if I'd use it, it wouldn't be on my R8 :)
  • neuroanatomist
    All three of those cameras came after the launch of the RF 24-105/2.8 Z and the RF 70-200/2.8 Z lenses. Add the PZ-E2 adapter to either...
  • Skux
    23-71mm f/2.8
  • B
    Then why put a zoom controller around the shutter release on the R50V, R6V and C50? I just zoomed the 18-150 manually from end to end on...
  • benperrin
    Yep or the R5C which doesn't have IBIS. I would prefer a lens like this with IS.
  • neuroanatomist
    How well do video shooters / content creators like zoom lenses that change aperture as you zoom? A cheaper way would be an external...
  • S
    If this actually happens, any bets as to whether they can manage proper optical correction, or if they cheap out and rely on digital...
