If Canon could make one lens that they don't offer now, what would it be?

a sharp apochromatic 50mm lens that is preferably f/1.2. damn Leica guys with their f/1 and f/0.95... sooo pretentious. ; )

 

I other than that, I'm good. they already make 24L, 35L, 85L and 200 f/2L ... all i want is a 50 without problems!

 

oh, and a camera that has working autofocus would be nice.

"EF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM. I don't need it but it will surely elimate future posts of " 24-105 f/4L IS vs. 24-70 f/2.8L" that we constantly see popping up. " --Sinh Nhut Nguyen

 

It will eliminate them only if Canon can make a 24-105 lens that is as sharp as the existing 24-70 f/2.8. The existing (slower) 24-105 IS lens simply is not as sharp as the 24-70 f/2.8.

 

Therefore my vote would be for a 24-70 f/2.8 IS, provided that it retains the sharpness of the existing non-IS version.

 

Having said that, I, too, would love to see an IS version of the 400 f/5.6, but I don't see that ever happening. Much, much less do I see Canon producing a 100-400 f2.8 IS lens. How much would such a lens weigh?

I'll second the vote for the 14-24mm f/2.8 to match Nikon's. Then again, at this focal length I'd settle for Nikon

putting an aperture ring on their's so I could stop it down and use it MF.

 

If not that then a 19mm f/2.8L would be nice -- since Canon has no plans for this I'm waiting for the Zeiss ZE 21mm

f/2.8 Distagon.

 

A 3x zoom somewhere between the 24-70 and the 70-210mm would be great. Perhaps 50-150mm f/4L. Of course

2.8 would be even better. No IS -- I'd want to keep it under $1500 and keep the weight down.
