photohns Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 What one lens do you wish Canon would make that they don't now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_earussi1 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 A 14-24 that's as sharp wide open as the Nikon! http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/1122/cat/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhut-nguyen Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 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. For myself, it has to be EF 400mm f/5.6L IS USM. I like the lightweight/small size of this lens, I can handhold it all day long and with a 1.6x body this lens becomes 640 so IS would make it even sexier.

sbp Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 EF 24-105 f/2.8L IS USM. One stop faster would make the current 24-105 a perfect general use lens, IMHO. Then i could sell my 24-70 f/2.8 and buy other goodies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kari v Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Any fast prime with IS... and make it available to mortals, 200/2 IS doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony_hicks Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 For me its an easy choice. Forget all those exotic zooms, lets have an affordable standard lens for 1.6 crop that is sharp across the frame. Something that is not too fast and heavy, and not just sharp in the centre. A brand new 30mm f2 would be ideal. Failing that, a 28/1.8 mark II that is up to the standards of other Canon primes like the 85/1.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyinca Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 EF30-90 f2 macro for under $1600, EF400 f4 IS for under $3500, 100-300 f4 DO at $1500, $699 if you trade in your old 70-300DO :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anders_carlsson Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'd like to see a perfectly corrected and reasonably small 35-70/4L. And a new 50/1.8 with USM and decent build, perhaps paired with an upgrade of the 28/1.8. And how about an EF-S 15-50/4? I doubt any one of these will ever be made.

g dan mitchell Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'd take a 24mm prime that was the equivalent of (and updated version of) 35mm f/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_martin10 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I would love a 70-300 F/4 IS L with USM ring focusing.....for my auto racing needs it would be perfecto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 A Mark II of the EF-S 17-85mm IS that corrected its optical warts (barrel distortion, CA) while maintaining functionality. Better still, a EF version of the same lens that would also fit on FF bodies as well as crop (it would serve for a ultrawide to portrait lens on the 5D, say.).

zafar1 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 50-150 f/2.8 IS :) I have asked for this before. This is the perfect portrait range, but nobody makes for FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boblester Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I've been looking wistfully at the Nikon 16-85 VR wondering why Canon can't upgrade the 17-85 IS the way they did such a fine job replacing the 75-300 IS with the 70-300 IS (non-DO). It's so frustrating to see them update the 1.2 and 1.4 lenses and charge huge sums for them while putting out cheap plastic crap for budget concious amatuers. "Let them eat cake" comes to mind.

boblester Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I should add in-body IS. I know it's not a lens but it would make all those nice cheap primes new again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
