    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...

    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...

    I met a retired dentist (how cliche is that) in Japan who owned both this Nikon and the EF 1200/5.6.

    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...

    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.

    Yet, you cannot resist replying. You're like some sort of bot. Push buttons, get reply. It's very entertaining, I must say. Your...
