Yay! looks like 2 of my 100 beyond hopeful wish list predictions are coming true! I hope they come out with the 100mm cine prime as well. We love that focal length. I think I use the 20mm & 100 mm Zeiss CP.2 on every shoot, but I prefer the coatings on the Canon cine primes overall. They just look majestic. If they add a 100mm in the near future, that will really round out the canon cine prime kit.

Oh boy, 20 prime stills folks will be coming out of the woodwork today.

Only the wealthy ones...

No no, I meant they'd come out of the woodwork asking for a decent (non-cine) stills lens. Astro folks (and UWA shooters who still want front-filterability without an outrigger/holder setup) would give vital parts of their anatomy for such a lens.

20mm primes and to a lesser degree fast 28mm lenses have not been a priority for Canon for a long time. Both were last made by Canon in the 90s, if memory serves.

Ha - you're right! They are coming out of the woodwork! [off-topic alert] But I'll get a 50mm first. A pro is in our office filming with a 50mm 1.2 wide open, and I checked it out - what lovely bokeh!
