    Can a "world's first" lens include one that is already in existence on another mount but not RF yet?

    It'll be interesting to see what happens. I thought camcorders just had kind of a revival. Maybe Canon wants to profit from it instead...

    So Canon shouldn’t make a 70-200mm f/2 because with a 1.4x TC that’s a 98-280mm f/2.8 and that’s ’a threat’ to the 100-300mm f/2.8...

    Definitely not for me, I already checked. :-) One year in US.

    People really think camera gear development is like a tennis match. Even the most GAS afflicted spec sheet chaser is not switching back...

    Warranty length depends on your location doesn't it? I think in some countries you would still be covered.

    This is what I always wonder. "Compete" means one thing to forum dwellers and I think something rather different to the companies involved.

    Those people prob arent buying any extra lenses. I just dont see the point in making the 50 1.8 unnecessarily bad. Canon is capable of...

    Here are three raw images. The first is a lens-capped calibration dark I took 17 months ago. The sensor was cooler because it was an...

    I'll take them off your hands... ;)

    I think the 20-50 is an extremely important lens or, more exactly, an extremely important architecture. It's the first interchangeable...
  • neuroanatomist
    Yes, I see. Canon must hurry up and match Sony’s f/2 lenses. Their reputation is on the line. I mean, it took Sony what…6 years to come...

    I had the EF 135mm f/2 and my RF 135mm f/1.8 is superior in nearly every way: image quality, AF speed, optical IS, ergonomics, build...
  • Eloniel
    You misunderstood my point, Canon will want to compete against the Sony 50-150mm f2.0 and it's much more likely for the lens to stop at...
  • Chig
    Well Sony's 50-150mm f/2 has an entrance pupil of only 75mm versus a 70-200mm f/2 would have one 100mm across and a 70-200mm f/1.8 would...
  • Chig
    Damn, I better sell off my RF 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM and my EF 200mm f/1.8 L USM then :unsure:, can't understand why they're among my...

    He meant my weird aversion to half- and third stops aperture in the name of the lens. A 70-200mm F1.4 or F2 will never happen, but...
  • Exploreshootshare
    Well, the successor had a well-rounded and aperture of F2 :) :) No, you're right. The 200mm F1.8L was an absolute beast of a lens and...

    I've had my R1 since December of 2024. It gets very little use -- I just dabble. When I first got it I did some basic astrophotography...
