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...

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...

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.

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? ;)

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...

It will be interesting to see what Canon does with the super-teles... not that I am in the market. I could not justify splashing out...

I had the same surprise this morning. Here, we're 10°C below normal.

I stated that before you replied that it was all about FF cameras. So clearly you felt differently prior to posting that drivel. It's...

Canon has filed patent applications for a switchable 1.4x-2x TC, essentially a 1.4x with a second 1.4x that flips out. Not sure it will...

Pretty cool shot. Well done, Speedfinder.

I met a retired dentist (how cliche is that) in Japan who owned both this Nikon and the EF 1200/5.6.
mimbu replied to the thread Report: New Canon Super Telephoto Lenses Coming in May.
Something we can agree on.
Every mount seems to have people who think including a 1.4x and 2x TC in the same lens would somehow be...

I'd be curious how you define "helped". By being the janitor? It's a critical job to society in general but I think it might be a bit of...

Finally these just might be stuff I have been praying for, especially the 55/1.8.
The 50/1.8 is is cheap crap, and although I bought the...

How is recommending he stop doing something that might cause cancer a new low? Seems like a positive to me.
