Lenses that you want Canon to release next

[Ozarker]

I'm happy with the current offerings, but would like $30K for two great whites, a 200mm f/2, and a 1Dx. Then I could call it done.

It would be nice to see the 300 F4 L IS and the 400 F5.6 L updated to the 300 F4 L2 and the 400 F5.6 L2. Both with AF and glass updates and reduced minimum focus distance (note no IS).
It would be tempting to suggest an equivalent of the new Nikon 200-500, however I feel that a budget 500 F5.6 prime may offer better IQ and/or price. It would certainly be at the top of my wishlist for a walkabout birding lens especially if it were not encumbered with IS.
Canon will certainly not make non IS lenses just because I want better pictures so it won't happen!

A canon version of the sigma 120-300s. It would certainly have better af and be lighter. The price would be more but worth it imho.

"A 600mm f/4 with a built in 1.4TC would be awesome."

The 600 is IMHO marginally handhold able adding an extender would push it beyond hand hold able for me.

So here is a thought how about an extender that can be added to a lens and flipped on or off without removing it. It could also be used for macro extension tube but would have to address infinity focus when not in use so it would need an optical element when not in use.

Suspect this would be At least a short kilo in weight.

Yes, a new 85/1.8 IS USM to replace the 85/1.8 USM would be very nice.

if Canon make a 85/2.0 IS or 1.8 mkii, i still want it.
just hope they will replace this 23 years old lens soon

 

[geekpower]

add weather sealing and IS to the 135/2L and 200/2.8L

 

[SteveA]

EF-S 10 2.0 IS USM.
EF-S 15-30 2.0 IS USM.
EF-S 45-85 2.0 IS USM.
EF-S 50-150 2.8 IS USM.

 

[RGF]

16-35 L F2.8 III - really great IQ. non-IS

14, 16 or 20 L F1.4 to F2.0. non-IS. Again great IQ, for night skies

100 (or 200) to 560 (or 600) F4 to 5.6 IS L. Longer version of the 100-400

 

[MrToes]

14mm 1.4 with amazing sharp optics for night photography

 

[scyrene]

Macro 180mm f/2.8 IS (or similar).

 

[RGF]

Macro 180mm f/2.8 IS (or similar).

Why F2.8? In macro there is little to DOF, F2.8 goes from tiny to none.

Easier focus? Weight and size will increase a lot.

 

[RGF]

Macro 180mm f/2.8 IS (or similar).

I would very pleased with F1.8 or F2.0

 

[ajfotofilmagem]

Macro 180mm f/2.8 IS (or similar).

I would very pleased with F1.8 or F2.0

Why not F1.4?

Seriously, I want a Canon 200mm F5.6 Macro with Hybrid Image Stabilizer.

 

[scyrene]

Macro 180mm f/2.8 IS (or similar).

I would very pleased with F1.8 or F2.0

Lol, for macro? Depth of field is thin enough at 1:1 f/2.8! Lighter than the 180L and with IS - those would make it more usable. Wider aperture, and it starts becoming something else. The lens you want is the 200L f/2 IS, and add an extension tube for the closer focusing

 

[JohanL]

Replace all the little buggers, the non-L EF crowd from 85mm and down, with STM, better optics and build. Including a full line of f/1.8s wherever possible.

 

[WIDEnet]

17-55/2.8IS replacement: 15-70 f/2.8 IS USM with better build quality and mechanics, esp. focus ring (like 18-35 Art), better IS for video, and slightly larger image circle, would both make a great option for PJ/event photography on crop (7DII) and as a decent run and gun starter zoom for C-series (or, for me, the Ursa Mini 4.6K) that's cheaper than the $30,000 cinema lenses, like a crop version of Sony's 28-135/4 without the power zoom. Honestly, as much as I want my 18-35/2 for cine, I'd skip or put off that (and a 18-135 STM for outdoor walkaround) plus sell my current 17-50 if the Canon could deliver a similar level of mechanics as the former with a little more range and better stabilization than the latter. Realistically, though I'd hope for a price around $1000, considering the current model is $879 normally with a $100 instant savings right now, I doubt it'd go for less than $1200, and even if its up to $1300 or so I'd still make that trade if I could get it refurb or open box a little while after launch. It would also mean I'd have to haul out the 70-200 and second body less often and give me more flexiblity overall when shooting stills (events, PJ, magazine, portraits).

100 (or 200) to 560 (or 600) F4 to 5.6 IS L. Longer version of the 100-400

There is already an 200-560 4-5.6 L IS.... for 11000 bucks or so.

But i'm in for a longer zoom, something like a 200-500 5.0-6.3. 600mm is okay, too. The 6.3 will keep the price lower, because it can't be used with a canon 1.4xTC.

BTW... Canon, please bring that damn 50mm with IS. Thank you!

+1

I want to see a 50 1.4 with IS and an 85 1.8 with IS (or a 100 2.0 with IS).

 

[martti]

Today I want a 28-135 f/4.0 IS L.
Tomorrow something else.
I'd really want to have my Tamron back from the repair...

 

[brad-man]

Since I was unable to resist the M3 + EVF deal from B&H, I'm requesting an EF-M 35mm f/2 please. If there's any money left from the $4500 R&D Canon budgets for EF-M lens development, I'll take a 50mm as well.
