New Unique Macro Coming? [CR1]

[Canon Rumors]

<p>We’re told that a “world’s first” macro is coming from Canon some time in the next year. This is all we were told and can’t even begin to guess what the “world’s first” would mean.</p>
<p>Canon has been pretty innovative in lens design, from the EF 8-15 f/4 zoom fisheye, the 1.4x built-in teleconverter in the EF 200-400 f/4L IS, and the latest EF 11-24 f/4L ultra wide. All 3 of those lenses are pretty creative.</p>
<p>We hope to hear more soon.</p>

I think I saw something a few months ago on another site about a 300mm macro with image stabilization possibly coming based on a patent filing (which also included an image stabilized version of the 180mm macro).

Maybe that's it?

 

[pdirestajr]

Wasn't there rumors of a tilt-shift macro a while back?

T/S? Fazier?

I am still waiting for a EF 60mm f/2.8 Macro(L/non L) with IF and USM/STM motor. For some of my work 100mm f/2.8L is too long.

120mm autofocus macro tilt-shift f/2

 

[tpatana]

150mm w/ 2:1 macro.

 

[VeijoM]

A zoom macro (1:1). Wasn't such rumored from Canon at some point, or have I been dreaming.

Fisheye macro????

 

[tcmatthews]

A 2:1 macro? That would be cool.

150mm w/ 2:1 macro.

+1
Or 200/4 IS 2:1 Macro . Or it could be a 100mm f/2 1:1 macro with a built-in 2x TC, which converts it into 200/4 2:1

 

[IglooEater]

Fisheye macro????

That'd certainly be unique.. :

At a guess, I think it'll be a TS-e macro lens. Fairly long, say around 100mm.

 

[Don Haines]

defractive optics macro lens?

 

[KeithBreazeal]

Maybe a body designed solely for macro work. 50mp and a large touch screen separate from the main body. Mirrorless would make sense.

 

[Apbphoto]

How about a MP-e 65mm with IS.

 

[DominoDude]

My thinking goes along the same path as Don H's: A 200mm f/2 DO Macro, and it comes with a built in LED light to ensure you get sufficient amount of light on your subject.

120mm autofocus macro tilt-shift f/2

Almost there, you forgot to mention the build in 1,4x converter
