Lenses that you want Canon to release next

[Deleted member 91053]

a 200-600mm f/5.6 L IS USM, that is as sharp as the new Nikon 200-500 f/5.6 and about the same price. I am tired of my Nikon friends having a sharper long zoom than me. The Tamron and Sigma 200-600 does not compare in sharpness or speed.

The Nikon 200-500mm has mixed reviews. Many copies are soft above 350mm and some reviewers prefer a Sigma 150-600mm. A 200-600mm f/5.6 would be a heavy monster.

True!
Now a 500/600 F5.6 prime with no silly IS and other bits and bobs could be made at a very reasonable price, possibly with a plastic body to reduce costs even further.

I love the way that my 1DX and "Big White" lenses are built but many (most?) photographers simply don't need the durability of top level gear and simply want a plain and simple long lens that has decent IQ and AF and they would be more than happy to accept F5.6 to reduce size/weight and price.

Locally there would be a significant market for such lenses but they are all going Sigma/Tamron because that is all that is available. Canon is missing out on significant lens sales in this area.

I'm hoping for a 24-105 "L" III.

I'm hoping for a 24-105 "L" III.

Not exactly my thought after reading the incoming data about the mark ii - because the ii will last 5 years or more before we will see a mark iii version ...

While waiting for this one I would like to see an EF 4.0 / 40-200 L IS USM with brilliant IQ and ergonomics (like 70-200)... and if it starts at 50 mm I would take it in a heartbeat. Thinking of two bodies - one with 16-35 + 40/50-200 for landscape, people, towns, nature, beach, ....
