Built in WiFi is limited in both speed and range, the transmitter solves that. I’m glad I don’t HAVE to buy the transmitter in order to transfer files and use my phone as a remote.

And then we hearfrom the people who don’t want to pay for useless stuff they don‘t want.I know its extra profit for companies but a lens case literally costs 5-6 dollars to manufacture.
They could easily include it for a 1000 dollars lens just like Sigma does with much cheaper lenses.
I hope they are compatible just because someone will think it's useful and doesn't mind shooting at f/16 and f/22. LOL jkHas there been any rumour yet about whether the extenders will work with the new f/11 lenses.
I mean as in physically fit, not whether there's any point in it.
I just want this. View finder, same sensor as my M6ii and IBIS.The list does not mention an EOS M5 Mark II.
Honestly, I think it's for the instagram influencer crowd. The clearest unhindered use in my mind is making backgrounds look huge against a non-moving subject. I'm thinking photographers pressing a subject up against the moon or getting a close up of an eclipse. Those images were so popular on social media after the last eclipse it seems like there could be a market for a (relatively) cheap and slow lens to do that, as the price for entry to those types of images right now is pretty high.I hope they are compatible just because someone will think it's useful and doesn't mind shooting at f/16 and f/22.

I personally can't wait to hear why on earth Canon spent R&D money to develop a lens like this. I can't wait to hear their explanation on who or what it's for. I'm personally hoping the lenses have some hidden feature we don't know about yet like a built-in speedbooster (reverse teleconverter) or something like that. Like it's an 800 f/11 on the long end, but with the flip of a switch like they have with the 200-400, it becomes a 400mm 5.6 and 580mm f/8? I don't even know if that's something that's possible...but I also know that I am certainly not the target market for an 800mm f/11. An f/11 aperture just doesn't make any sense to me...it will be the king of diffraction on the RF mount. haha
I agree with the M5ii. And maybe a little more rugged/ weather sealed. (i.e. 7Dii replacement) We just may have to wait a little while for that to come out...I just want this. View finder, same sensor as my M6ii and IBIS.
You’re going to shoot a subject with the moon as background at f11? Better have your flash readyHonestly, I think it's for the instagram influencer crowd.

I hope the 2.0x and 1.4x extenders will stack but I'm not hopeful considering the 3rd gen models. I want to move to the RF 70 - 200 f/2.8 but I don't want to do it until I can get 560mm f/5.6 with teleconverters; right now I'm stacking the 2nd gen Canon's on a EF 70–200mm f/2.8L IS III and it's very loooooong.
Yes, a graduated filter is just as possible as a neutral density one. In fact, since it's just software, you could do almost anything beyond that if it's done by a quick software algorithm! I may not be a photography professional, but I was a high speed video programming professional my entire career.Like your train of thought. I've heard about these but never seen one in action. Can a graduated filter be software as well I wonder??
Would be great if these were available and would save a lot of messing around and carrying loads of breakable stuff!
Even I find f/11 aperture weird decision and I live in a place where except for monsoons there is abundant sunlight available. But apparently Tony Northrup sees there maybe a niche such small aperture tele lenses among beginner wildlifers.I hope they are compatible just because someone will think it's useful and doesn't mind shooting at f/16 and f/22.

I'm not sure you can get 560 @ f/5.6 with a 70-200, f/2.8. Add a 2X tele and you add 2 stops to the aperture and double the focal range. That gives you 400mm@ f/5.6 if I'm doing my math right...I hope the 2.0x and 1.4x extenders will stack but I'm not hopeful considering the 3rd gen models.

Im ready when ever they are ready.I agree with the M5ii. And maybe a little more rugger/ weather sealed. (i.e. 7Dii replacement) We just may have to wait a little while for that to come out...
