    Exactly, RF 100-400 is better than it should be, in reasonable light it can be as good as RF 100-500. Even with 1.4 extender. And R7...

    scyrene replied to the thread Why No EOS R7 Mark II This Year?.
    They gave us cheap supertelephoto RF lenses, a birder of limited means can do very well with current gear.

    All you have to do is buy the RF 100-400 zoom... Small, sharp, inexpensive! There's, in my opinion, absolutely no need for an f/8 400mm...

    A 400mm f/8 (or somewhat faster) IS STM could cost about half of the 100-500mm's price (600mm f/11 IS STM costs USD 830)

    memory crisis and the competition has nothing better for wildlife... so Canon is in no hurry
  • D
    Both the 50mm and the 85mm f/1,2 are optically superb lenses. Neither I believe they could be dramatically "improved" to justify a...

    It appears that crop sensor bodies are the redheaded stepchild of multiple brands. Birders of limited means are not amused.
  • neuroanatomist
    No one should be surprised when Canon gives little love to the 7-series, their red-headed stepchild.

    Craig,, has there been any more input about the resolution of the R7-2 and/or R7V? One conjecture had it at 7680 pixels horizontal...
  • roby17269
    It seems to me that the 50 1.2 (I have one and love it) would fail both of your criteria... I am sure that there are other lenses that...
  • S
    If they can make it 50-150 f2.8 it would be even better, the perfect compliment to a wide angle zoom. I dont necerarily know what...
  • R
    Sure. With a free thai massage coupon to make it more realistic.
  • S
    I'm always a little bemused because I've never sought Canon's input on anything after purchasing. It wouldn't even occur to me that they...

    It's a good lens already, although I personally prefer its "unpopular" sibling, the 24mm. What more could you want from newer versions...
  • B
    I wouldn't worry about something like this. They will likely work for another decade or two without any problems. And if they break, you...

    No LCD is a no go for me. I am completely dependent on having an LCD screen (tiltable) when shooting from the waist or low to the ground...
  • B
    Thats true, but we could get much better, non-pop-up viewfinders and still have pocketable cameras with different design philosophy...
  • H
    I am not sure if the RF50 f1.2 satisfy your second criteria, unless you meant 'which lens would sell the most copies within its price...
  • L
    A 100-400 f4.5 L with a built in 1.4x teleconverter for $4,750 would work for me.
  • N
    Canon have 50mm and 135mm f/1.8 primes (probably a 200mm to follow). They also have two f/1.8 macros (24mm and 35mm) and nothing...
  • B
    This is depressing. Most of my FF lenses are so old that Canon cannot/will not fix them. Of course, I bought a lot of them 20+ years...
