Patent: A New Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS

Well, ladies and gentlemen, rccphoto does not approve of such highly sought after lenses, so I think we can close the book on this one. And to think we were all such fools for dreaming about a 24-70 2.8 IS...

So what you are saying is that if anyone has ideas contrary to yours they should shut up? Reminds me of my grandad whose idea of an intelligent person was someone who agreed with him.

One other thought.

Could this patent be intended to shoot Nikons Fox? i.e. Canon won't produce this any time soon but the patent challenges any answer Nikon may be thinking about?

The contrary idea would moreso apply to the secondary poster who disregarded the original poster's entire list of lenses that I don't think would hurt to have.

OP: I want Xmm lens with Y aperture and IS.
SP: Don't care.
Me: Personal opinions don't add much to the convo.
You: You sound like my grandad.
Me: Nah, trying to open up dialogue instead of 'shutting up' as you say.
