No one makes my perfect laptop, and the really frustrating thing is there's no technical reason they can't.

I finally built my own out from barebones.

never been happier. will upgrade it this year to 9TB of SSD's

Canon probably doesn't have the luxury of having multiple teams of lens craftsmen (-women). In addition to EF lenses, they've been busy with 7 EF cinema (and 5 PL cinema), broadcast plus a few EF-S and EF-M lenses.

Now that Canon has a nice collection of high profit cinema lenses, we should start to see more photo lenses.

I'm building a gaming HTPC sometime later this year - whenever the new BattleTech game comes out. Or MW5, if ever...

Canon cinema lenses are not hugely popular. Zeiss CP.2 and now CP.3 as well as Master Primes, Schneider, Cooke, Leica all have multiple choices at different price points, then throw in Panavision you have heavy-weights in the cinema industry that cover the bulk of needs. We only own a couple of sets of Canon cinema primes which have the lowest utilisation.

In stills it's madness that Canon has not replaced the EF 50mm f1.4 it's one of the easiest focal lengths to design and if the likes of Leica can do it with a very small team so can Canon.
