Realistic wish lens

[The Bad Duck]

I´d like a 35 f/1.8 USM with the same quality as the 85 f/1.8 USM. (ring USM and usable wide open) That would be supernice!

I will backup what a poster on the previous page said and say my dream lens would be a 500mm 5.6 IS

Retail price would need to be around £1500, but i imagine would be close to £2000 when newly released.

I'd love ef-s 15-60 2.8 IS, but it would probably be too expensive as a general purpose lens for me, considering the current 17-55 2.8 is £800ish, it would probably be knocking on the door of £1000 for the revised version.

EF 35mm f/1.2L USM
EF-S 28mm f/1.8 USM

 

[whatta]

actually efs 15-60 2.8 IS USM has been rumored:
http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/02/ef-s-15-60-f2-8-is-cr1/

it would be the perfect kit for the 7D II

and indeed, efs 28 1.8, but I think it is not likely, the efs 60 2.8 macro is the only prime so far.

there was also an interesting one earlier:

EF-S 17-55mm f/2 IS USM would be awesome too

Edit: think it was mentioned somewhere that the 11 f/2 was for projectors, and come to think of it, an 11mm f/2.8+ is far more realistic...

Even if it's an 11mm f/3.5 i'll still buy it, if the IQ and distortion is better than the ultrawide zooms...

Same here, though the price and weight has to match. Come to think of it, f/4 IS doesn't sound so bad either.

Also, does anyone know if its harder to add IS to non-tele, FF, fast lenses? If IS is technically a controlled decentering, that would mean that the IS group has to produce a larger image circle like the the TS-Es, and might make it hard to IS something too fast and too short. Just guessing, but, uh any optical engineers out there to confirm this?

 

[Rincewind]

An all-in-one 10-1000 f/1L IS II USM (version II should come out first so it is already better than version I).

 

[elvan]

17-55mm f/1.8 IS would be nice.

 

[docsmith]

EFS 15-85 f/4 IS USM
EFS 45-125 f/2.8 IS USM (the EFS equivalent to the 70-200 mm)
EF 100-400 f/4-5.6 IS USM (technically not a version II as it starts at f/4)
EF 300-500 f/5.6 IS USM
EF 30 f/1.4 USM (I may buy the Sigma)
EF 10 f/2.8 USM
EF 500 f/5.6 IS USM

Hopefully those are realistic.

 

[unfocused]

EFS 15-85 f/4 IS USM...

+1 I'd gladly sacrifice the partial stop at the wide end for a constant aperture. I'd even prefer this to a 15-60 f/2/8.

 

[AprilForever]

I have an old 22.5-90 f1.5 Bell and Howell, c-mount probably. I'd like to see an ef-s 22.5-90 f1.5! Surely it would only cost a few thousand, right? But, what a lens for weddings and events!

 

[Caps18]

Something like a 6400mm telescope with *** sky tracking mount.

If Canon doesn't choose to make it, they should work together with Meade or a different telescope maker to make sure everything works nicely...

 

[moreorless]

A normal zoom that goes wider than 24mm would be useful as a walkaround landscale lens, something like say a 20-70 f/4 IS. Personally I find that longer tele and more extreme UWA are things I stop and take my time with so a lens change is less of an incovenience but pushing into the upper end of UWA is something I do quite often when taking quick shots.

Maybe the start of a linked up system of landscape lenses? 12-20 f/4, 20-70 f/4 IS, 70-200 f/4 IS

now THAT would be fun! an integrated connection that allows full control from the camera i would like to have a go at astrophotography never tried it yet

 

[whatta]

as of now, we do have an EF 14.5-60 which is faster than f2.8 (t2.6) with list price of $45,000

 

[AprilForever]

But it's only super 35, which NeuroAnatomist just told me is really only ASP-C!!! A 14-60 EF-S would be a wonderful lens! Especially if they slapped some IS in there...

 

[Jettatore]

My dream lens is a 7-800mm f/1.2 IS that weighs 1/4 pound and has perfect sharpness all over and cost $20 US. If they can make a little robot that flies to mars and drives around doing science experiments there is NO reason why my dream lens can't happen.

Sooner or later if humans don't extinct themselves first, optics will move into the field of organics and genetic engineering. Think something like, a cloned eagle eye developed in a laboratory. So sooner or later you'll likely get your wish, just maybe not in the form you originally had in mind. Don't laugh, it's probably not even as far away as we might imagine, and it would probably lend itself better to a DIY project than grinding your own glass with a dremil.

Imagine being the first photographer on Mars...

EF 24-50mm f/1.4L USM
EF 35-70mm f/2L IS USM

EFS 45-125 f/2.8 IS USM (the EFS equivalent to the 70-200 mm)

How about a Canon EF 50-150mm f/2.8L IS USM, because the Sigma one is sub-par.
