What's your dream lens

[K-amps]

10-500mm f/1.2 IS II in the 24-70 size around $100
..at least this was my dream lens, then I woke up...
;D ;D

I'll buy 2 thanks ;D

I honestly wouldn't mind a 70-200 f/2L IS lens.

Yeah but that would make the 135 and 200 f2 kinda redundant!

True, but that's not my problem

No, but carrying one around on your shoulder, with a 200-400/4 on the other shoulder, might cause you some medical problems...

I don't know, they might balance each other quite nicely .

I wonder exactly how much glass that would take to construct such a lens?

My dream lenses are the old 20-35/2.8 and 80-200/2.8 but with usm and is. Of course the same build quality with metal as the original lenses. By the way, I am looking for a 80-200 lens in mint condition.

My dream lens would be a: 24-105 f/2.8 IS. I'm sure it'd be huge and expensive, but I'd happily sell most of my lenses and then just carry this one around all day if Canon made one. This plus a teleconverter would be extremely useful.

TS-E 17mm f/4 L
OR
Canon MP-E 65mm 1-5x

The reason I put them on my "dream" list isn't the price. I could afford them, but I doubt I'll ever be able to justify the price for such specialty lenses. Pretty much all super-high-quality non-AF lenses are on my dream list.

At first it was the 50L, then got it Now, it's the Canon 200mm f/2, but I'm a million miles away from it :

TS-E 17mm f/4 L can be a very nice landscape lens. It is not necessary to be used for architecture only.

Exactly what I tell my wife when I carry two bags of shopping stuff. If she takes one, it is unbalanced...


If only they were lenses...

 

[roadrunner]

24-105 F2.8L IS, with the sharpness of the current 24-70 F2.8L Mark II. I don't think that's TOO much of a stretch. I miss that extra 35mm on the long end.

 

[Kamakalele]

My dream lenses....
EF 85 f0.95 L IS, EF 135 f1.2L IS weather sealed, EF 400 f2.

 

[alexturton]

I'd love a really wide aperture standard zoom IS. something like a 14-85 f1.4

 

[pedro]

A still utopical dreams lens for me would be a Canon 12 or 14-24mm 2.8 or 2.8-4.0
As having marvelled about the likeliness of such a piece of glass, before I do not add too many words 8)

EF 200 F2.0L IS USM II

Blasphemy!

Why not a 15mm F4 (to reduce weight and price) non-L (to reduce price) prime rectilinear lens that can take filters? IQ should at least be better than the current 20mm F2.8 (close to 17-40 IQ stopped down to F8). If they price it just a little bit more expensive than the samyang 14mm, I'd take it in an instant. It doesn't matter if it's MF or AF. The brand doesn't matter as long as those other important features are available.

i would love a Canon 500mm f/5.6 L IS II for birding 8)
