    I'd love a 20-50F4, it's the lens i've always dreamed of. For me it represents my most used focal lengths. I don't care to go wider...

    You have your lightweight travel lens, the RF 100-500mm. I use it with the 2xTC, which gives good images at 1000mm, and give a miss to...

    A mirror lens is the only way you will get to a materially smaller size than the 200-800. Canon did file some mirror lens patents a...

    Precisely this! We couldn't have dreamed of lenses like this in the EF days.

    Two points. First, I think Canon has done just that with the RF 600/11 and 800/11 and the RF 200-800, which is f/9 at the long end...

    Why aren't there lenses like a 500-800 with a reasonable, but not super-fast aperture (say f11)? For birding (and for all wildlife and...

    This lens fills a nice gap if one already has the 10-20 mm f4 and 70-200 mm f4 lenses. Great trio for landscapes and relatively...
