    Buteo buteo flying over my garden (R5ii + RF 200-800mm).

    It looks something like the spherical aberration correction lenses that used to be found in large refractor (lens) telescopes.

    Well, getting a giant 24 - 45mm f/1.4 zoom would be one way to get 28mm f/1.4 native on the RF mount, I guess... 😭

    I received my 7-14 on Friday last week, and had a chance to do some shooting on Sat. I've had an 8-15mm since they were introduced and...

    I just hope these patents mean Canon is actively working on a much lighter 28-70mm F2 (or better 24-70mm F2) and a 70-135/ 150mm F2...
  • Exploreshootshare
    Well, Sony honestly knocked it two out of the park with their F2 zooms, maybe Canon feels "pushed/ poised" or whatever to top that with...

    Or, hear me out, Canon could revive what was one of the best compact systems of all time--the M series. Of course that ship has sailed...

    Of course...we can all wish for lenses and hope that Canon makes them. But there's a significant difference between hoping for a lens...

    The ray diagram is going to 'stop' at the edges of the diagrammatic 'sensor' by convention, even though that's technically the image...

    Well, I'm not the author of that comment but come on: Each of us has HIS preferred lenses (and of course Canon knows best which lenses...

    On the schematic of the 24-45, the transmission path of the edge rays do not go through the entire width of the central elements. Is...

    I don't know if this word is still even used, but that's just not hipster enough! Too much digital garbage, don't you long for the...
  • neuroanatomist
    Sigh. Because physics. Wide and standard lens designs are limited by the image circle diameter, telephoto designs are not. There is no...

    I wouldn’t like to say, but what I can say is that the optical performance of the RF 28/2.8 is really quite impressive, with superb...
  • neuroanatomist
    Canon files thousands of patent applications per year, they have been in the top ten companies in terms of that for over four decades...

    Why can’t we have some mid range tele for crop cameras. Keep doing more and more wide lenses is not going to make more money.

    Hi! This 'reflecting forth and back' sounds a little bit like interference, but there the distance between the two reflecting surfaces...

    Theoretically, sadly! Because this lens exists only as a patent! 😭

    I'm very curious what they could bring to the market. I've also noticed that I would want it to be quite small and somewhat...
  • Richard-CN
    Yes, you got it. the light bounces in between the two elements and magic happens.

    24-45: For me, a very interesting focal range, to complement a 70-200 and a 14mm TS-E. Even if it were no f/1,4, but an f/2,8.
  • D
    Made of optical glass or optical plastics like the one on the RF 28mm f/2,8?
  • Old Man FL/FD
    I wonder what those ‘zig-zag’ lines are along the lens’ edge transmission path on the element pointed to by “HM1.” Could this be the...

    neuroanatomist replied to the thread RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM.
    As is obvious from the above image, the RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM is very similar to its VCM siblings, and also something of a slimmer version...
