Report: New Canon Super Telephoto Lenses Coming in May

[mimbu]

The discussion was about a switchable separate 1x-1.4x TC (echoing previous discussions about a switchable 1x-1.4x-2x TC that resulted from online misinterpretation of a Canon patent). The desire is for a standalone optic that is added to and mounts behind the lens like the current 1.4x and 2x TCs. The explanation was about why that is not technically feasible without additional optics for use at '1x'.

Then we are talking about completely separate things. At least you're not QUITE as big a moron as I thought you were, you just can't write well.

Then we are talking about completely separate things. At least you're not QUITE as big a moron as I thought you were, you just can't write well.

A 1x-1.4x switchable TC is NOT just a matter of 'adapting it into a separate teleconverter'.

A 1.4x TC built into a lens does not have to be any different to a separate 1.4x TC added to a lens.

No, we were talking about the same thing. You quoted my reply about a 1-1.4x switchable TC and stated, "... separate TC added to a lens". Your words. You were just confused, and are now trying to move the goalposts after being called out on your idiocy. Yet another fail. You should quit while you're behind, but you're probably too immature and weak to do so, therefore on this issue I won't bother replying to more of your asinine drivel.
