I think my ultimate lens would be a 200-600 f4 DO, (yeah, sounds impossible, but just 30 years ago nobody would've thought the 1DX II was possible!!). That would be a sweet lens.

Can't believe I beat ahsanford to the question.
L? f/1.2? What does that mean? Who needs that?

Yikes you must be the original Mr Muscles. Very few photographers on the planet could work all day hand holding any 600mm.Jopa said:I don't mind to carry the 600 f/4 II if the quality is top notch, have no problem shooting it handheld. Sometimes only neck hurts by end of the day

Steve Dmark2 said:Canon Rumors said:We’re told that the Canon EF 600mm f/4 DO IS <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-ef-600mm-f4-do-br-at-canon-expo/">that was shown in prototype form</a> at Canon EXPO in September of 2015 is currently scheduled to be launched in the second half of 2017.</p>
<p>Along with the new DO supertelephoto, we’re told that Canon is well on its way developing updates for the other “big white” prime lenses. While optics will likely be similar, Canon is working on weight savings techniques and updated coatings and IS systems. ....
Maybe they also fit in new AF System "NANO USM technology" as well as digital focus display.
However the second part can be to gimmiky for the Big whites
