A little history: Canon produces 30-millionth EF lens TOKYO, January 19, 2006 - Canon Inc. today announced the achievement of a newlens-production milestone as production of the company's EF lenses passed the30-million mark. Production of interchangeable EF lenses for Canon EOS-series AF (autofocus) SLRcameras began in 1987 at the company's Utsunomiya Plant. Canon produced its10-millionth EF lens in August 1995, its 20-millionth in February 2001 and, amere five years later, has now reached the 30-million plateau. This achievementreflects users' high level of satisfaction with the performance and qualityrealized by EF lenses, as well as the service offered through Canon's marketingoperations.

PuppyDigs Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I wonder if they'll be a special edition anniversary model? I remember the EOS 10S anniversary model. They painted the plastic silver, attached a special anniversary badge and charged a lot extra. A nekid titanium 40D with ECF and matching titanium pancake lens would be way cool. Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_lubow Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Whoo. Lots of supply. When are the prices going down? keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliot1 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Lots of supply? The cameras become obsolete so fast... I believe my 5D will stop working next month after Canon announces (hopefully) its replacement. I will be forced (against my will) to purchase one - oh well!
