Two Lenses Coming for CP+? [CR2]

[privatebydesign]

Another vote for an ultra wide zoom that is sharp at the corners. Don't get me wrong I like my 16-35 but it leaves a lot to be desired in the corners.

Given the minimal improvement between the 16-35 I and 16-35 II despite many years passing and increasing of front element to 82mm filter thread, I think the only way a UWA Zoom will be sharp at corners is with a bulbous element w/o filter support.

Again, bulbous elements have very good filter support..............

All in vain.

You mean like this?

I guess, if you don't mind the front of the lens being the size of your head... Might work for tripod landscape photography but it would be too awkward for anything else.

Id like to toss a vote in for an UWA zoom or prime

No, though that is one option. I use this http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php/topic,16813.15.html , much better design and build, very usable in the field hand held too. Size? Well I don't bitch about the size of a 300 f2.8 hood so why worry about a 145mm filter? You need the tools to do the job.

Because, I don't use the 16-35 II for tripod landscape.

Sorry, what part of "very usable in the field hand held too" did you not understand? I don't use a 300 f2.8 for tripod landscapes either, as a rule.

 

[cellomaster27]

Please please please give me the 50 1.8 IS!!!! I sold my 50 and I think I really want another one to fill that void! Takes too long an a siggy will be in my bag very soon.. A 35L II would be sooo welcome.. b/c that would probably help lower the cost of the 35 f2?? XD Gah, make my GAS a reality Canon!!

Well, regardless of our difference of opinion, I don't think the 16-35 II is quite cheap enough yet to indicate imminent replacement. Perhaps a 14-24 w/ bulbous element which would serve a different segment, though. Or, maybe a 17-40 f/4 IS. But, I don't think we are at 16-35 III yet.

The 17-40L, 35L, 135L, 50 1.8, and 70-300 non-L are all dirt cheap, and the 135 2.8 was discontinued, so I am guessing they will be up first for replacement.

Oh PLEASE dear Canon, give me something wide. Like 15mm f2.8 fisheye / 17-40L IS :-\

BTW hello to all you wonderful camera friends. I've been here and sneak peeked in many months and now my first post 8) Have a awesome day

Welcome to CR RohamR! There are a lot of people here wanting some wide angle action next year! Me included! I really hope we see that rumored 16-50 f/4 IS. That would be perfect!

 

[scyrene]

There are already too many existing lenses on my wishlist to be too bothered about new releases, but if I were to vote for one, it would be an IS version of the 180mm f/3.5L Macro - as some have suggested elsewhere, maybe taking it to 200mm.

I'm normally excited by the widest apertures possible (there's probably a better way of phrasing that!), but for some reason the 35mm f/2 IS seems more interesting than the 35L. Not that I've used either, it must be said.

 

[eiretv]

Never mind the lenses.....what about the bit about new Canon EOS Cinema Cameras??

Please elaborate and Speculate.

I am waiting until NAB to see what if anything new camerawise comes along before making my next purchase decision.

Dear Canon:

With regard to 'development announcement's: Please Don't.

Take a note (as should the entire electronics industry) from Apple's playbook and aim for week-1 availability.

We're tired of hearing about nice things that we're not allowed to play with.

Thanks.

You're forgetting about the Mac Pro.

More than likely it will be an EF-s lens and an L lens we didn't ask for like the 24-70 F4L.

+1 for the 17-40L IS

 

[Eldar]

14-24L and 85 1.2L IS

 

[scyrene]

14-24L and 85 1.2L IS

I dread to think how unwieldy (or expensive) an 85mm f/1.2 IS would be! Though I would love to see one, in a dream world.

+1 with you for the 180mm macro. But what about that age old 50mm macro? that lens has been in Canon lineup since 1987. Canon is lagging behind Nikon in terms of lens releases as well now days.
