The ULTIMATE Canon lens

[serendipidy]

I'm waiting for a refurb.

 

[CarlTN]

But is it weather sealed? I notice it doesn't have a big red line on it.

I can shoot sports for many different universities from the comfort of my living room.

 

[ishdakuteb]

No IS? Pffff

Go on, shake it.

like... can not wait to see DXOMark to test the lens... LOL

 

[Menace]

I don't think DXOMark will be impressed by it

 

[mrmarks]

Did Canon also make a new lens cap for this?

 

[dawgfanjeff]

Will Reikan FoCal support it?

How's the weather sealing? Just mist, or can I let it get really rained on when I am shooting Japan from Oregon?

 

[AJ]

Do you think I should buy this one? Or should I wait for the mark-2?

Will Reikan FoCal support it?

If yes, at what distance do we have to do the test.

If yes, at what distance do we have to do the test.

The surface of the Moon should do, maybe the Chinese could plant a copy there if we ask nicely.

what is the minimum focus distance of this one? can you use it for macro?

 

[funkboy]

What's the equivalent focal length & f/ number on a crop body?

"It’ll be pointed toward the heavens in order to help scientists determine the distribution of dark matter in the universe."

Damn! You got me.

Damn! You got me.

Imagine that Phd thesis: "After a nine-figure capital budget and half a million man-hours, we've concluded... That he's over there."

 

[Menace]

what is the minimum focus distance of this one? can you use it for macro?

Minimum focus distance is 10cm. Attach bellows for macro shots

 

[iaind]

At -100c it must be cool!

Or 173.15K

It isn't actually a lens that can be used alone. It is a field corrector meaning it corrects distortion present in large telescopes so that images can be captured.

 

[Viggo]

No IS? Pffff

Go on, shake it.

Now that is humour! ;D
