I'm sure Canon has a perfectly good reason for these lenses ending in f/7.1... but it's a mystery to me.
According to camera conspiracies it's called the Canon cripple hammer.I'm sure Canon has a perfectly good reason for these lenses ending in f/7.1... but it's a mystery to me.
The reason is: because it's possible. Now that there's no artificial f/5.6 restriction to AF anymore.
yeah i think all phone cameras go 2 stop under DLA straight to verge of cliffThe new restriction is that DLA starts happening around f/5.1 on the M6II. But DLA is not a cliff, so f/7.1 could very well be 'good enough'.
Given the layout, I think this will fit into the standard 61mm M series barrel diameter. If not, it will come very close. Take this, the 18-150, and the 11-22 and you have 17.6-576mm equivalent in a very small package with good to excellent IQ. I think M is here to stay for quite a while.oh woah could be amazin birdler lense for M cameras . Sharpest supertele ever made if made well?
Thank you canon confusing me even more about what to do next
So M5ii must be coming , and M barrel diameter isnt unbreakable law.
There isnt IS so M5ii got ibis?
Guys i would love to see your face if next M camera would be M1 would make some :O
It even makes sense ,camera for professional bird shooters
Why are lenses for the EOS M restricted to 61mm diameter? As long as the rear diameter of the lens elements fits the bayonett, can't the front diameter be whatever it takes?
Ugh. So Canon lets it's engineers off the chain for camera bodies and the cripple hammer attack the lenses instead.
No sorry but 7.1 is just one big fat noooooooooooooooooooooooope
The DLA for a new iPhone is about f/2.4 and the various lenses vary from f/1.8 for the main to f/2.4 for the wide angle. The advantage of these very short focal lenses is that it is easy to get wide f-numbers to compensate for the small pixels of about 1.4 microns.yeah i think all phone cameras go 2 stop under DLA straight to verge of cliff
