daniel_taylor Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hmmm... I wonder what the "N" is for in 1D mkII N? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitmstr Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Unless of course the CPS site is down because it was hacked by those responsible for the hoax/news....<grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_hachey Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Well, in addition to the 5D, I'm really excited about the 24-104/4L IS lens. We need something in that range to improve on capabilities of the 28-135/non-L IS lens. It looks like my credit card is going to be maxed out for the next couple of months <grin>.

scott_fleming1 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I saw the original and it was a canon website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_fleming1 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 This is really nuts I know ..... but what if the N in the new mk II is for Nikon? I know it couldn't happen. Canon could never put a Nikon mount on one of their cameras. Could they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanthree Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Canon probably could put a Nikon lens on their cameras, but why? Such a beast would cannabilize their own lens sales, especially when someone switches from N to C. No, I can't see this making any sense for Canon (if you weren't jerking my chain!).

andrew robertson Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 You can put your own Nikon lenses on any EOS camera with a $40 adapter ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_mccusker Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 The N probably just stands for "New." When Canon updated the F1 for the third time in 1981, the model was was known as the "New" F-1 or F-1N. Also, when Canon changed the FD lens mount from a bayonet to a breech mount, the new breech mount was called New FD and is/was sometimes referred to as FDN or FDn mount.

ron c sunshine coast,qld,a Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 .....Plus there are many 'N' model EOS film cameras.Basically they were just improved versions of (then) current models . <BR>Maybe they'll phase out the 'Mk II' thing? <P><P>Yes the whole 5D images/5D PDF/CPS site thing could well be a hoax,but as i've said a few times-we haven't ever seen anything remotely this well done before.<BR>Those 5D images really were incredibly detailed (notwithstanding those that jumped up and down about odd reflections from the rear screen and viewfinder.Oh please! Look at a canon brochure dipsticks,they're all slightly doctored,LOL) <P>If it turns out to be a hoax i would go as far as to tip my hat at the ones to did it all. <BR>Of course if i wanted a budget full frame body or 24-105/4L lens then i wouldn't be so forgiving....
