yakim_peled1 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Canon, if you want even more profit, make us a 70-200/4 USM L IS.... Happy shooting, Yakim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would more realistically be a 200-400/4-5.6 USM L IS, but still it would be a logical extension of all the 70-200s and probably better than using them with a 2x teleconverter.

dcheung Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 what they really need is either: 24-70 2.8L IS or 24-105 2.8L IS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenPapai Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Actually Canon needs to offer an excellent, prime EF sub 18mm L lens for under $900 and re-engineer and modernize their 50mm 1.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_smith2 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 An 85/1.2 II with faster AF. A 58/1.2 L to replace the 50/1.0 L. A 24-135/2.8-4 L (well, OK, 2.8 all the way if they can make it with 82mm or smaller filter size). IS of course... A 50 Macro that goes to 1:1 all by itself and has USM. Update all the old primes...24, 28, 35, 50/1.8, 135 SF. Give them all cheap USM and a 58mm filter size. A 100/2.8 USM Macro with IS. Is a rectilinear 10 mm lens possible?

affen_kot Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 <p>i could go for an updated set of primes as well; particularly a 35mm 2.0 with<em> ring</em><strong> </strong>usm and a build quality equal to that of the 60mm 2.8 macro. it might be too much to ask that they give it a circular diaphragm as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky2 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Oh screw IS. Make us a Ring-USM 50, will ya? ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenwagnerphoto.com Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Here's another vote for new WA primes. Let's see some USM. That's the reason I haven't bought one yet. And I'm not talking EF-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The reason Canon profits are up is probably because they don't decide on what to market based on wish lists from photo forums on the web! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted_marcus1 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Update their venerable 28-135IS so the short end begins at 18mm. That would compete with Stigma, but offer wider availability and (one hopes) better quality control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affen_kot Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 ...or these wish lists help them decide what <em>not</em> to come out with - we'd become content with our gear and stop buying :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyboy Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Bob, or perhaps they do, but give us exactly the opposite :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_austin Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I just bought a 24-105, which my wife *insists* on boxing back up, wrapping, and giving to me for Christmas. : ) I may buy a 28/1.8 if I feel the need to fondle more gear; otherwise, I'm all set equipment-wise unless/until Canon produces either the 70-200/4 L IS mentioned earlier, or a sub-$2K successor to the 5D. I guess my only recourse now is to go out and use the stuff, and try to become a better photographer ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_potts1 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 They have taken their best zooms and skewed them too far to the wide side to accomodate small frame sensors. They should turn the 24-105 into a 35-135. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldmoose Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'd like to see a fast, wide angle prime, (EF-S would be OK). Something like a 15mm or 17mm f1.8. On a 1.6x crop-factor camera, that would give me an available-light equivalent field of view to a 24mm or 28mm, respectively. After collecting 28mm f1.8, 50mm f1.8, and 85mm f1.8, it's really the major missing prime in my set for the 20D, and it would match my OM film body 28,50,85,135 counterparts.

25asa Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 My vote is for a 55 1.2L or 50 1.2L and a 200-500 zoom. There were rumours the 200-500 may be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarlover Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 I am sure Canon has a well placed marketing strategy that is making them reap the profits. So, are they even considering our suggestions? What we really need is $500.00 L series lenses. Photography is for everyone and so it should be affordable to anyone. Also, $500 quality ultra wide angle lenses. A dream lens would be a 10-300mm super quality L lens, which would let me carry only one lense- no more changing lenses.-This for only $2000.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcheung Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 ^ haha, i dreamed of such a lens.... 15mm - 1500mm F1.0L IS with stunning image quality but weighs no more than 4 kg.and dimensions small enough for 1 person to carry. Cost.... $30,000 doesn't sound to outrageous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmdavis Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 That's pretty funny Jon. I bought a 28-135 last night, and my wife also insists that I wrap it and put it under the tree. I thought I was the only one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmdavis Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 My wish list: Hubble=> EOS body adapter, availablew on e-bay for $29.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25asa Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Oh is that the Hubble telescope to EOS adapter? :P I want one too. As for the 50mm f1.2L- its been rumoured it might be released spring 2006. I guess we'll have to wait for PMA 2006 to see if this rumour is true or not.
