Won't mind if it goes over 1x while keeping AF but less than 1x(1:1.4 or something else) would be disappointing replacement to excellent EF 100mm L ISIs the macro 1:1 or the weird 1:1.4?
Good to see some Big White Len's coming, guess I better start saving up, going to be expensive.
Not for the pro users who they want to get into the R1.RF 500mm f/5.6L IS or RF 600mm f/8L IS would have been much more interesting and unique lenses for the RF platform...
Do you have two kidneys?Time to take the kids out of private school.
Out of curiosity, what do you expect it to offer, that the TS-E 24mm w/ adaptor don't?Wake me up when they announce a 24mm tilt shift.
Maybe they can make the RF 400mm F2.8 with the weight of an EF 300 F2.8. But price wise the 400mm is way more expensive.Guess the R1 is around the corner.
As for focal lengths, I'm a little surprised Canon started with longer focal lengths. With high res sensors, its easy to crop 300mm to get 400mm framing. If the R1 will have 20MP, the photographer will have 11MP after crop, that's enough for A3. Going the other way isn't that easy.
Remember, this is a "rumor" site, so any answer you get will just be a rumor. In fact, why not just start your own rumor? It's more fun that way.Is the macro 1:1 or the weird 1:1.4?
I love my 180mm L macro, surprised it still hasn't been refreshed. looking online it was introduced in 1996! talk about longevity .. would also like something like the MPE 65mm Macro? I love a lot of the output people get, but its a very old lens ... 1-5x Mag!I am not surprised the 100mm macro is being announced, but I would really prefer a longer macro in the 200mm range. While the 100mm macro is fine for studio work where you can control the background, the old 180mm macro was far superior to the outdoor nature photography I did and still use it today. Having a tripod collar, narrow angle of view, and more working distance made all the difference to better images that generated a huge amount of photo sales over the decades. So let's hear it for a longer macro lens!
The 400mm f/4 DO II is just under the weight of the 300/2.8 II so it would be remarkable if they could make a 400/2.8 that light.Maybe they can make the RF 400mm F2.8 with the weight of an EF 300 F2.8. But price wise the 400mm is way more expensive.
