Started a change.org petition to push Canon to make a 50mm

I've always found the petition movement a bit foofy; and the Canon stubbornness in updating its 50mm lenses downright silly. So I combined these things together...

I'' thinking of signing this... ;D

Well, why not.. I've signed.

If it gets enough signatures, who knows, Canon might just take notice. To that end, it would be worth posting the link on the other big forums.

Seriously. This was solely for his benefit.

Signed it I mentioned IS and ring-type USM in my comment, without regard to anyone in particular ;D

Good Luck. What drives new models is falling sales and the potential for increased sales. I don't think Canon is ignoring a new 50mm, they just have so many things on their plate that they deem more important. Maybe 2027?

How effective are these petitions to get attention from Canon. My 70d died with Error 80. Canon gave me big repair bill to replace main board. There are lot of people on net reporting this issue with a petition.Canon is fixing it for free in Brazil. They are offering some discount on repair here but not acknowledging the defect.

Not at all effective. Unless your objective is to make fun of both the petitions and Canon's fear of bringing out a 50.

I like that 'Sigma Art' posted a comment on it.

Without IS? Without Ahsanford!
Or he realized that this petition is a waste of time.
