quite opposite. on 5DIV difference between ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 isn't even noticeable, however ISO12800 becoming noisy.. much different to ISO6400
I believe you are right! Just the 28-70 and 70-135 could do it all for me as a portrait shooter. The 28-70 is so darned good it will go down as the second greatest zoom ever produced. The 70-135 will hold the #1 crown. Of course, I am talking on personal terms. I won't give up my RF 85 f/1.2L though.I would think this trinity with the new R5 would be a godsend for wedding, event and portrait photography. I am not in that market but release all four ( camera and three lenses) and they will be selling tons of 12-15k kits.
The EF 135 f/2.8 maybe tack sharp at f/4.0; but perhaps the RF 135 f/2 will be sharp across all aperture size.Seems a little boring, given that Canon promised new and inventive lenses along with the R system.
The difference between f/2.8 and f/2 at 135mm isn't massive, and so that lens seems a little fringe.
Why no 17-55mm f/2.8? Why no telephoto lenses faster than f/7.1? Why no L primes smaller than their EF counterparts?
Did we really need a junky 24-105?
I doubt any of that will be visible through my tears of joy.let's understand what corners Canon had to cut in order to arrive there first.. vignetting levels, distortions, bokeh quality. it is rather tempting...
To sad no real birder lens.... like a 200-500 5.f or 600 6.3f or also 5.6f <3....
really strange setup!
I notice you are very focused on vignetting. While it may be an issue for you, for the vast bulk of images made it is a non-issue.If 8+ stops of vignetting are OK to you...
Hmm.I notice you are very focused on vignetting. While it may be an issue for you, for the vast bulk of images made it is a non-issue.
I use the EF 11-24 on a daily basis in high end architectural applications along with my 17TS-E and vignetting is not a problem.
Actual use of most lenses is not wide open but stopped down where vignetting becomes invisible.
Very much concur with your take on cost. It's sometimes difficult to sit on the side lines, waiting for that excitingly breathtaking new $3000.00 lens to come down to a more reasonable, affordable price point. Even with a price reduction of same to, let's say $2000.00, all many of us can then say is, "Boy that sure is cheap. Now, if I could just find a way to come up with that $2k. And yet, bring it on Canon because many have been waiting for the tech we know you are capable of. Looks like this just might be the year the sleeping Giant awakens and once again, shows everyone they know how to produce exciting photographic gear. Judging by the CR blog posts and YT videos, Canon is going to bring us some great camera bodies to go along with all those exciting new RF lenses. If true, one can only hope that Canon produces enough product to satisfy the anticipated demand. A personal thank you to all those early adopters, who, either with deep pockets or cc's with high limits, make it possible to happen. Without you, we would have no new gear.Indeed, but my concern is more that there's nothing on this list that will be cheap enough for some people, including those on this forum, who would like to move into the R ecosystem without spending a lot of money. IS drives up the cost, as I'm sure we all know, and I don't know how valuable it is in a 50mm 1.8 design that should, but is not guaranteed to, come in under $150.
Hmmm, let me count the number of 17mm TS lenses are on the market. Oh! Precisely one. Canon’s. Nikon only managed 19mm and it did not become the must have lens for architectural photography.Hmm.
So, I went and checked it.
Then checked again.
Then again.
With the same result.
So, I still don't understand:
Can you please tell me where I can find this front filter thread on my TS-E 17?
Because so far, I haven't managed to see it there.
Have I got a counterfeit lens?
Is it not genuine Canon?
I was hoping for the rumored unique RF macro lens in this list. 100 f/2 1:1 would be fine with me, but I want tack sharp edges for copy work. IS would be a bonus even with IBIS for handheld macro work, especially IIF (insects in flight).Hopefully the missing MACRO designation is some typo - that would be the hammer lens for me combined with the RF 35 MACRO - or we have to wait another year for a RF f/2.0 100 IS Macro ?
the R5 with 12/ 20fps 45MP should be enough to sway some of the sports photographers. epecially at some of the less static sports so they can crop.What new big sports camera are you referring to? A 1 series R is not likely to appear before 2021.
Wait, are you seriously fantasizing about a 10mm rectilinear FF lens without a bulbous front element?Hmmm, let me count the number of 17mm TS lenses are on the market. Oh! Precisely one. Canon’s. Nikon only managed 19mm and it did not become the must have lens for architectural photography.
As for a filter there are solutions if you are not too cheap to buy the systems available.
When someone beats Canon’s solution to UWA TS lenses we can then talk. But the canard of a filter ring on a unique lens is the weakest of possible arguments to be made against it.

Until it finally launches, it isn't clear if the 10-24 is FF or APS-C......
Just saying.
f1.2 is the new-and-improved f1.4.What does Canon have against making a 50 f/1.4 ? Even the existing EF version is pre-historic.
