<strong>….. because you can


</strong>A friend of mine had a chance to play around with the new Canon EOS M. He did what I would have done the second I got my hands on the camera…. mount it to the lovely EF 800 f/5.6L IS.</p>
<p>Here’s what it looks like. I must say this looks like an extremely comfortable setup for general walk around birding.</p>

Ha! An answer to a continuous prayer!

Anyone slapped this thing onto the rear of EF 1200/5.6L? Or at least EF 800/5.6L, if 1200 is too difficult.

Now to find anyone with THE 1200mm... :

When begins an era of producing dedicated sensors with electronics for specific lenses?

NOW obviously..just look at the "incredible" Canon M on the 800mm.
(notice...I can't say the Canon 800mm on the Canon M! LOL!)

 

[Bob Howland]

Did he happen to mention how long the combination took to focus?

Did he mention he succeeded focusing?

 

[vlim]

How long did he stay in that position ;D

How long did he stay in that position ;D

Was there a monopod Photoshopped out of the picture?

 

[dolina]

Now I know how crazy I'd look shooting with the M.

 

[smithy]

Haha, this looks almost as ridiculous as an iPhone with a Photojojo SLR mount attached.

In BRIGHT SUNLIGHT!!!! Go for it!!!! LOL!

I think we have different definitions of "comfortable"... Perhaps you're a bodybuilder?

But on a monopod this would rock.

 

[RLPhoto]

Yes, Because of course the 800mm comes to mind when I think of a walk-around lens. We save so much weight when I use the M instead of an DSLR. :

 

[dolina]

Haha, this looks almost as ridiculous as an iPhone with a Photojojo SLR mount attached.

Exactly! The M looks like an oversized lens cap. ;D

 

[Wideopen]

Thats insane! The eos m does look like an oversized lens cap

 

[BumpyMunky]

I wonder how well the tripod mount on the EF-EOSM adapter would hold up to that??

 

[EOBeav]

Maybe we can get Canon to kit this? :

 

[tsetsko]

It's so hard to see the camera on the photo! And this guy is strong - holding the lenses like this!!

 

[te4o]

Цецко, I think the lens is hanging on invisible strings from the ceiling
