Quiet rumour time - wish list?

[YuengLinger]

Just one: a new ef 50mm 1.2 L that eliminates focus-shift (at least as well as the 85 1.2 II) and keeps the same dreamy rendering, but reduces the nervous, jittery bokeh that pops up on the current version. By year's end, please!

And if this comes my desired 50/1.4 is not far away any more ;D

50mm 1.4L IS USM
and Yeah I know not a snowballs chance in hell but you did ask

I know it won't happen, but I would really like a 24-105 f/4L IS II with image quality equivalent to the 24-70 F/2.8L II. I would be willing to pay for this lens what I paid for my 24-70 F/2.8L II.

isn't the 24-70 f/4L IS good enough?

For me, seeing Canon finally release the rumoured “supertele at an affordable price”, like a 500mm f5.6 IS at no more than $2,800 would be awesome, ...

Before I got the 100-400 II in January, I had never shot longer than 400mm (unless you include the ~ 450mm FoV of the 70-200 @ 200mm + 1.4x extender on a crop body (20D, in my case). And I thought that would be the most reach I'd ever need.

Since I still have the 20D, I can now do ~ 640mm with the 100-400 II (or 1.6 times whatever actual, true longest FL the 100-400 II delivers), but I must confess that a 500mm f/5.6 IS USM for under $3K would tempt me, if the optical performance were there.

Other than that:

• 50mm f/1.4ish IS with true ring USM
• 24-70 f/2.8L IS USM (wouldn't break my heart if it went up to 85mm) or 24-105 f/4L USM II

At that point, I'm done. (Sixty years old, and all the glass I need.)

Meywd, the 24-70 f/4L IS is generally regarded as quite good (although I personally haven't used one) but not quite at the same level as the 24-70 F/2.8L II. I love the IQ of the 24-70 F/2.8L II, however, often when I use it I find myself missing the extra reach or IS (and bumping up the ISO and shutter speed to compensate) of the 24-105 F/4L.

Some sort of improvement with the shutter for much faster flash sync speeds would be welcome. I also wouldn't mind wireless that works to be built in so that I could just send jpgs to a tablet easily without a cable getting in the way. I would actually like to see swivel screens on the higher end models. It would be very useful for landscapes when the tripod needs to be low to the ground.

longer than 30 min record times on DSLR's

AFAIK is this limited due to some legislation. Not because of the system or some stu*** Canon idea.
Otherwise this SLR would become a video camera in the eyes of the law and then there some additional taxes and fees.
So this wish must be presented to the governments, not to Canon.

But maybe I'm wrong. Then somebody else please correct me.

Yeah I have heard just that. Just wish it wasn't the case when it comes to Europe. Or it would allow the option to have an expanded record time when in the U.S. I suppose for now it saves the sensor from overheating.

A 7DII at $1,200; A 100-400 II at $1,800; A refurbished 70-200 2.8 II during a 15-20% refurb store sale. But not all at once, please.

for the first two, you can get them from Canada for these prices with the current exchange rate.

I must admit, the swivel/touch screen is excellent, one of my favourite features on the 70D, and something I will dearly miss when I buy the 5DIII.
Also good to see that others like the 500mm non L f5.6 idea!! C’mon Canon, help us out 8)

 

[Hjalmarg1]

A new ef 50mm 1.2 L that eliminates focus-shift (at least as well as the 85 1.2 II) and keeps the same dreamy rendering.
A new 135mm f2L with IS or Sigma 135mm f2 Art with OS. Nothing wrong with the current Canon one but I'd like IS.
A new 85mm f1.8 with IS or Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art (with OS). Current versions are OK but with some limitations. A refreshment of those with the latest technologies would be welcomed.
A Sigma Sports on 300mm-400mm f/2.8 OS under $3,000-4,000.

Hi Folks.
I only have one wish, a decent size lottery win, not after the £tens of millions, a million or two would be nice, clear some mortgages, mine and family, buy any body and lens I want, fix all my classic cars and a few more and still have a few quid to live on! ;D
I've just realised that I have no chance for that, I quit buying lottery tickets years ago! :

Cheers, Graham.

You have the same chance of winning in either case

The only guarantee with lotteries is that if you don't play you are guaranteed not to win... but also guaranteed keep your money. ;D
