dmanthree Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Just wondering who is preordering those two new super RF teles? Yeah, right... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgpinc Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 They have a very nice 100-400 EOSR F5.6-8.0 lens for $649 that I'm interested in. With the high ISO capabilities that the R cameras have this should be a very functional Tele-zoom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the price of that 1200mm lens you can buy 30 of them. :rolleyes: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Although it is not so much germane to this particular situation, I generally (unless GAS had intervened) wait until the new version of an expensive lens is actually released and then buy its predecessor. Sometimes this doesn't work as when the older one is a much fan-dored "classic" and actually goes up in price :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have $100 Samyang 500mm f/8 preset that is made “functional” with high ISO. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_c5 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I’ve just read the article in Canon News about these two new, incredibly expensive super teles. Apparently they’re pretty much EF lenses with inbuilt 2X converters, and the reported image quality is almost identical to what you’d get with the far cheaper EF lens plus EF 2X converter. Glad I’m not in the market for anything like these! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
