Dream lens would be an RF 24-50 f/1.4

Rumor has it they are working on a 500 mm DO in either f4.5 or f5 maximum aperture.I’ve said it before (many times) and I’ll say it again..
RF 500mm f5.6 DO!!!!!!!!!
(Like Nikons 500mm f5.6 pf)
And it’s wholly fixable in firmware as well, which Canon is choosing not to do.Canon stated that the focus shift exhibited by the lens was a design trade-off with increasing the magnification to 1.4x. It’s definitely a real issue, not an Internet phenomenon.
Focus shift gets worse the closer your subject is to the MFD. It’s also aperture-dependent, and if you’re wide open or reasonably stopped down, it does not affect the image. I would guess that at typical flying bee working distances, you would not expect to have a problem with focus shift. It can be an issue in other used cases.
Oo interesting.. I’d prefer 5.6 to keep the costs down though.Rumor has it they are working on a 500 mm DO in either f4.5 or f5 maximum aperture.
I just want some basic small affordable primes I can pick up for day shooting. 24mm, 28mm, 40mm f/2.8. Not flashy, just fun.
Or, a 58mm f/1.4.

A lens like that would be massive and very expensive. Just look at the size of 400 F4 or 300 2.8.That 70-300 isn't far off my idea of a dream lens.
Although, I'd much prefer it be a constant aperture. In this 2.8 would be perfectly acceptable to me. And I would ask that a 1.4 extender be built in.
Am I going to far? Okay, scale that back a little to... say 280!
A 70-280/2.8 with in internal 1.4x, making it a 100-400/4, would be (almost) perfect.
I agree and that is why I think Canon would make the rumored 500 mm DO f4.5 lens. Would be great if they combined it with a built in 1.4x TC.500 5.6 is only 1/2 stop brighter than the 100-500. I don't believe Canon would make that lens.
No. RF stands for rectilinear function, so there can’t be an RF fisheye lens....would that RF 1mm-1000mm f/1L IS USM Macro Tilt-Shift Pancake also be a fish-eye lens, - that could additionally offer the potential for a rectilinear correction?!!!
