• 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.

Oooohhh. The Age of Otus has begun! :D An 85 to rival the Canon...and probably kick it's ass, too. :P I was interested in the 55 from an optical standpoint...but I would actually really love an 85mm f/1.4 Otus...that focal length is just so sweet on FF.

I want to love these Otus lenses, but I miss the AF and the focusing screen in the 5dIII is useless for manual focusing. I also don't like the prospect of needing to buy a 1Dx so that a can get a screen to manually focus a $5000+ lens.
