• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

In my opinion the Focus by Wire technology with the Initial focus reset "feature" is good for videographers and A+ mode users only. For still and especially for macro photographers the Ring-type USM motor is much better since it supports Full Time Manul focusing.
As AF doesn't always work in macro photography if you want to go beyond lifesize magnification the FTM feature is a must for me. I think Canon should release EF-V lenses for videographers with FBW and EF(-S) lenses for still photographers with the Ring-type USM technology.
