A lens that would be a bit more differentiated could be a 150-600 mm f4.5 to f6.3. Could take a 95 mm filter on the front and be internal zoom with L grade quality.Did you notice that you are slowly approaching the specs of the RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9.0? Just add a little bit of focal length and accept a bit of slowness, and there you are
There are more than enough superzooms out there. Canon needs to go the other way. Something like a 20-70 equivalent with lots of speed in a small package would be great and unique.Canon just needs to make more super zoom or just good zoom around 400mm compact camera's with raw, travel buddies to take with you to everywhere there are already so much compact camera's with 2x or 3x zoom
That's what I meant with "lens at infinity" which is the default after switching off the cam (according to my settings) to make things compact to throw a really great cam/lens combo into my job backpack ...Yeah, I guess it depends on how you see it. CR referred to that the existing model extends aprox 17mm - so the difference in some cases isnt more than 20mm since the new are rumored to have an internal focus. But the existing model are a good lens anyway
All the designs are significantly longer than the current RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM. Removing the flange distance, the 34.80mm f/1.85 design would be about 100mm long. The current version is 62.8mm. Keep in mind that the current version of the lens extends about 17mm at its closest focusing distance, so that brings the lens to 80mm in length.
Thanks! The lion was in the Ngorongoro Crater, they are not shy and closely approach the safari vehicles.beautiful - I like in particular the dreamy Gorilla. Looking at the lion, I personally would prefer to have a tele lens instead of a wide angle lens - a close-up might give you a too deep insight in the inwards of such a carnivore

Well, I own already an RF 200-800Now that Canon has read this, they are going to adjust the date to a very close date. Because, of course, they want you to switch to the RF100-500 and RF 600.
, and I realized with a mild shock that my EF 85mm f/1.2 II will be out of service already in October 26. Fortunately, I just got an exchange of its grip shell this year, because the rubber of the old shell got sticky after about 13 years...

my EF 600mm f/4.0 III could be serviced until 2032, good news for a lens I use in rugged environments. And the EF 100-400 f/5.6 II "undecided", what hopefully turns out to be finally a date not too soon...
No arguing, I am with you. Depends on how much you caress your gear, but sounds really good. I wouldn't complain.
Well, I just wrapped up our catastrophic experience with Nikon gear in my earlier post, but of course it depends on what you do with it. We shoot wildlife, and that's definitely sometimes harder for the gear than even most open air sports photography events (except shooting extremes such as the Paris-Dakar rally in the Sahara). We are no Eastwoods, we simply do what birders do, if they are a bit serious. But the number of failures we experienced with Nikon over two decades of digital photography can't be just bad luck, in particular because my wife is much more cautious with her gear than me.
