    I looked at the demo too. It leaves me very skeptical as to the gear actually used. A bit too good to be true...:cautious:

    Thanks for sharing. Personally, as long as I can handle my camera with large lenses, I will use this option. It's part of my philosophy...

    I believe nano-USM is significantly larger than STM, especially gear-type STM used by the 85/2. But yeah, I think I'd vote for the extra...

    Curious, would you buy a Canon RF 70-200 (or perhaps 150 or 180) f/2.8 STM for under $1,400 USD?

    Lovely shots, ISv. I really like the bird's inverted pose. :)

    Speaking of the topic of this thread, the 28-70 2.8 was on Canon refurb sale for $750, so I’m excited that I’ll see how at least one of...

    They could have added nano-USM. They already used that in cheap lenses like the EF 18-135 or RF 100-400.

    Well, it's STM, it is what it is. The intentional was not putting USM into it. I wonder how much bigger/heavier it would have been with...

    Exactly! For example the RF 85 F2. Would have been the perfect lens. It's sharp, has great macro feature and F2 is plenty for most uses...

    I'm absolutely sure there won't be a 70-200/2.8 STM as the 28-70 is not a 24-70 and the 16-28 is lightyears away of being a 15-35 or...

    Checking for seeds from every direction... geckos have nothing to do with this. These actually are not the most acrobatic birds around...
