Am I the only one who was hoping for a 24mm, 1.2?

A prime lens less than 24mm and below f2 would be great for astro/milky way. 24mm is a little bit limiting for that but works ok for me (I've shot stars at 24mm f2.8 with my 24-70).Am I the only one who was hoping for a 24mm, 1.2?
i shoot at ISO 6400 with 5DIV quite a lot. it is not as bad as you define. certainly not a mushy image. i guess, it depends on a workflow one is following.,
DXO Photolab3 certainly takes good care of ISO6400 RAW files of 5DIV.
I was hoping for the rumored unique RF macro lens in this list. 100 f/2 1:1 would be fine with me, but I want tack sharp edges for copy work. IS would be a bonus even with IBIS for handheld macro work, especially IIF (insects in flight).
Then my camera must have something wrong, because i do only wildlife (from years ago) and im having always front or backfocusing problems. The camera confirms focus in servo or one-shot and its clearly off... For BirdsInFlight, stationary subjects like in my bird-hide... And im not talking about the speed wich is slower compared to my dslr's.. Im talking about a thing that a mirrorless camera is supposed to have not.. In fact i do microadjustments in my dslr cameras to nail the focus always, but in this sistem you can't. I've tried everything : configuration of all the af scenarios(locked speed etc) , isos, shutter speeds, apertures, focusing areas/metods and always the same isue.. Im waiting to test it with the Rf100-500 and give it the oportunity of being an ef-to-rf thing but probably it would be a waste of time and money...I see that now,thanks.
Well, as I see it the EOS-R doesn’t have either of them: the AF is very fast and accurate and there is no shutter lag.Of course, I guess you have to use and learn the camera before blaming the OOF photos on it.
My only grip with the EOS-R is the lag in the EVF when shooting fast action. Nothing else...
Actually, the shutter lag ("time from fully pressing shutter button to image capture") is relatively long in R in mechanical shutter mode, because the shutter needs to close first, and only then to start opening again. The shutter lag in the electronic first curtain mode is slightly shorter than the shutter lag of 5D4.Thanks for clarification. I only asked what shutter lag was and I didn't imply questions about anyone's first language etc.
And I'm hoping for a 600mm DO!I'm hoping for a 20mm !
Very interesting thanks, I've never thought about these shutter challenges on mirrorless.Actually, the shutter lag ("time from fully pressing shutter button to image capture") is relatively long in R in mechanical shutter mode, because the shutter needs to close first, and only then to start opening again.

If I had the means to do both zooms and primes I would. But I'm not giving up my 1.4L primes. The zooms look incredible and it's VERY tempting (especially now that we will have IBIS moving forward) but I love my 1.4 too much. I'm far more tempted to get a 24-70 f2.8 IS. I need a quality all-arounder but I'm not gonna spend $3000 for one. For someone who is building a kit (no lens library yet) the f2 zooms make a LOT of sense. Buying a '35 and 50 is more than the f2 zoom (provided you are willing to sacrifice 1 stop on EF and 1.5 on RF)I know! Already own the 28-70 F2. Months ago, I sold almost all my EF mount primes to purchase that monster.... and I will never regret about that change but I work as a wedding photographer. For the moment, the combination of 17-40 f4 + 28-70 f2 is more than enough for my work. But never knows, the future will tell
It's a delay not from the time when the event happened, but from the time the photoelectrons that recorded the event have got scanned from the sensor, the whole scanned image has been processed and converted for packing into JPEG.In terms of the EVF lag, I'm wondering why it becomes an issue. If EVF does 30fps, it's 33ms delay max which is 2 times lower than the shutter lag, and 3 times lower than human's reaction.
It eats 50 f1,2 sales? Would they never made 1,4 if there would been 1,2 already?
30 FPS would render an EVF unusable. Even LiveView is 60 FPS on the current DSLRs.Very interesting thanks, I've never thought about these shutter challenges on mirrorless.

What's your problem with STM? The RF lenses are all focus by wire anyway, is there really much of a difference between STM and other implementations if it is electronically coupled anyway?F*king STM.

I haven't shot action with EVF yet but what you say may be very true. But if they bring the EVF lag down to 1/30 - 1/60s, it'll be much less than other factors.How much it's the latter and not the former will determine how successful the photographers can be in retraining themselves to pan tightly framed scenes with EVFs.
You forgot you want it with USM.I’d really love to have a small but excellent quality 85 1.8 IS!
