I am satisfied with the RF100-400 too (in addition to RF100-500) so there is hope

It’s not compatible with the Canon TCs. I’m not aware of any 3rd party TCs for the RF mount.

In this patent application, Canon discusses improving the ability to improve the consistency of the sensor’s black level. For a little background information, Canon RAW has a floating black level governed by masked pixels that surround the sensor. The number of masked rows and columns that surround the image sensor portion that takes the image

Not 100% sure if it fits that way.

Especially "Acceptance" is not seen very often.
Or let's redefine it in "Acceptance that one is the only one who recognizes the "truth""

I don't think it fits as more than a little levity, I would be surprised very surprised if someone with a formal education in the subject gave this any merit. I'm not even sure if the Kübler-Ross model itself is considered useful anymore

I still stand by my statement,which was correct at the time of writing.

Note all APS-C lenses have at least a 27mm image circle, which means they hit the top and bottom edge of a full-frame sensor (24mm tall). That doesn't mean all APS-C lenses qualify as "full-frame." "Full-frame" doesn't refer to the details of the image captured by the lens, only that the image circle be at least 43mm wide. You know this. We know you know this. Why not have a laugh with us, it's a funny and weird situation about the only lens I can think of that sometimes is full-frame, and sometimes isn't.

I could easily see people getting killed using this lens near an airport.

Could Canon have soft-flexible alloy strings attached to the IBIS module to carry away the heat?

If it doesn't work, make sure that you are not using electronic shutter mode. It's easy to forget about this limitation if you are only using flash sparingly.

Happens to me sometimes. The R3 does support flash with electronic shutter, but not in silent shutter mode. I use silent mode sufficiently often that I have the toggle assigned to the video/stills switch.

its ok now I sold the lens got a RF 70-200

Apparently Canon uses nanoimprint to make metalenses. There is a post on Petapixel and this (Google translated) item on a Japanese website.
From the pictures it appears to be Diffractive Optics to the max.

I don't have much excitement about eliminating the phone camera bump because it's already small enough for me. I do imagine it might be possible to be applied to full frame lenses. If it could reduce size and weight of larger and heavier lenses, I think most of us would be happy.

I emailed them a while back and they can do it
Edit: I mean, they said they could ship it to me in USA.

Cool, thank you!

I’d love to see a comparison between this and the Beastcage. Both are very similar in concept and size. If both hold lenses precisely then I’d be very interested. But neither are available yet (for the 15 Pro and Pro Max for the Beastcage). I’ve had a lot of different lenses for my iPhones over the years and while all did what they were supposed to, there were problems with all of them that usually lowered the overall quality of the images, even with the Zeiss versions. A major problem was the method of attachment. Hopefully these will resolve that and we’ll see more HQ lenses become available.

You are right of course! darn you Canon for stifling my artistic endeavors!

The photos here are excellent already. I'm eager to see what you will produce once you finally have it!

Well, generally, a lens that is not contrasty, nor punchy, is not a good lens. And really, it's the censor and in-camera JPG processing that is likely responsible for the too-contrasty look that you dislike.

It seems that you would be happier if you bought the worst and cheapest lenses on the market. But short of that, you can easily control contrast in post-processing.

The best EF L, RF L, Zeist, and Leica lenses, the high end Nikkor, and Sony GMs, and the most expensive...they all are known for their punchy colors, contastiness, and the so-called micro contrast attributes. The old Canon EF consumer-grade primes might do the trick for you...

It seems your issues are really non-issues...slow day?

As a follow up to my previous statement, the current users of TS-e lenes are a very specific group of users who uderstand and value the use of a tripod to get very precise and specific results. This announcement / rumour centres around a lot of technology to try and allow the user to effectively go "tripod free". The guys who have a specific application will always use a tripod regardless due to the nature of the images that they are trying to obtain and the client's requirement. This type of phtotgraphy requires critical and careful composition and very few shots. Measure twice and cut once type of methodology. Which is very different to the nuvo riche millenial "become and expert via a 15 mins youtube tutorial" guys who will try and hand hold these lenses, not fully under stand the functions or controls and rattle off several hundred and then select the few images that actually worked later in post.

So regardelss of Canon courting the latter user types (in the hope of selling a bunch of these lenses to a bunch of rich and curious doctors), the guys who have a serious and professional interest in optically correcting their verticles or maximising their depth of field via the scheimpflug principle will not benefit much from the massive amount of computational and engineering effort that is going into these very specific lenses.

Sorry to contradict you, but I'm neither rich nor a doctor, nor a nouveau riche.

I fing your categorizing a bit simplistic, to remain polite.
But, when visiting cities, I NEVER use a tripod, but take all my pictures of houses, churches etc.. handheld with the 24 TSE.
Same in the mountains. I simply dislike converging lines.
Most perspective errors I correct in Lightroom.
Of course, if I were a professional paid for perfect architecture shots, I'd use a tripod.

PS: I forgot to mention this strange phenomenon only occurs with OIS switched on!

What body? I’ve taken a lot of shots with my RF 14-35 at the long end on my R8, and never experienced anything like that. The R8 lacks IBIS.

Makes me wonder if it’s a cooperative IS issue where the cooperation is actually competition. If so, it could be fixed in firmware. I admit that possibility may have occurred to me because of your use of the word phenomenon, as in Firmware v1.x fixes a phenomenon where…

RF 24-70, @35mm, 1/80, f20, ISO 200

Agreed. What I’d like would be fast (fast-ish anyway) wide and compact. 22mm f1.4, 10mm 2.8, and a 14-50 2.8 or even f2 all purpose RF-S lens.

EF-S never went faster than f/2.8. Canon offered a couple of fast EF-M primes (22/2, 32/1.4). I have no idea how well they sold, but Canon does. The M22/2 was released when the M system launched, and the M11-22 the year after. The M55-200 was 4th, the M18-150 was 6th.

It seems likely that Canon would consider the sales data from EF-M in their decisions for RF-S. This time, they prioritized the superzoom and telezoom lenses over the UWA zoom and any prime.

Add to that the availability of the RF 16/2.8, 28/2.8, and 50/1.8 that are all in the right price range for APS-C and give a wide/normal/short tele trinity of FF equivalent focal lengths, which I suspect reduces the perceived need for RF-S primes even more.

I certainly like my M22/2 and M32/1.4, and the lenses you mention for RF-S sound interesting, But I would not get my hopes too high, if I wanted them.

And I don’t understand Canon’s need to limit a few dollars worth of weather sealing, at a mass production level, to FF (L) lenses.

That few dollars eats into profit, especially at a mass production level since the margins are lower.

A rain cover is really better than relying on weather sealing and those cost only a few dollars for the user.

This patent application (2023-149130)shows some interesting and fairly simplistic optics for 70, 75, and 85mm primes. The 85mm primes are unlikely since we already have the Canon RF 85mm F2.0 IS STM. It should be noted that the element designs in this patent application are far simpler than the 85mm F2.0. Most likely because of

Maybe a RF-s - Version of a 70, 80, or 85 would be a great match with my fantastic R7

Thank you! I mostly manually focus and this lens does that very well.

Great!

With EFCS you feel the shutter just after the picture is taken, they could do the same for haptics.

For the burst modes they could do the feedback once at the end of the burst.

That's actually a very neat what to handle it. I hadn't thought of that.
