Canon Maintains a Dominant Position in the Market for 2023

[Del Paso]

Part of the “we’re done here” is that the optical quality of the EF 180mm for macro is so very good. Even on 50mp (5Ds R) and 45mp (R5).
Canon please hurry in converting the RF tele macro lens patents to actual products.

Mine was horrible at infinity, except in the centre. Sides were worse than the EF 2,8/20's at f/2,8!
But I know I caught a lemon. I'd buy the new one without hesitating, provided it gets OIS.

Speaking as someone who NEVER pre-orders anything - I would pre-order an RF 180mm macro ...

Canon is only an RF180L macro lens away from expanding the market

I really wish they'd finally release an update to the MP-E 65mm 2.8 macro lens. It's great but with todays lens technology they could give it serious IS and better IQ. I mean it doesn't have to be 65mm just something that allows for 2x, to 5x macro. I was really happy to see the new RF 100mm macro has more than 1x macro, but of all the lenses, that one's the oldest of macros and needs an RF release.

It's really fascinating to me that they sold almost 1 million DSLR's that's crazy... who's buying those over the mirrorless? I thought DSLRs were totally discontinued? Maybe that's old-stock? That's also more than any other maker by like a factor of 8x ... So when that market drops out, I wonder if that will hurt canon.
