200mm f2 mkII
sure.... send it along...
I've been waiting patiently....
how about 5 stop I.S.
and...25% weight loss....
and a closer min focus
I'm in for those features
sell the car... I'll use my moped...
Its already 5 stop IS. i heard at release they said it was 4 stops but then later updated it to 5 apparently
In any case i can shoot mine quite easily at 1/8th of a second handheld which is 5 stops!
get it noooooow
it is perfect for clubs in the dark where you have to stay back...
....
I see Brian at TDP says 4 stops quoted from canon and... says its about right
[ if you saw someone get 5 stops in testing - please tell me where]
for me the latest I.S. will do..
that min focus dist is what will swing it for me
I've rented it ....it is pretty nice..
weight reduction will help make the deal
also lets see what they do with the 135 f2 I.S. that's coming soon...
that one takes a 1.4 TC .....which with a short focus may be better/more flexible...
even having the 85L f1.5 I will likely get this maybe even replace the 85 1.4 L ....
...orig 135 is so small/flex(TC) and light that it is going to be hard to beat it...
I know I shouldn't, but I like to use it with out the GIANT hood
or use a smaller 3rd party if there is one..
once the hood size is less clumsy it doesnt weigh too much to carry for a bit...
if oil prices spike again ..my Prius will bring a little better price...
