drfuzz3899 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 18-200mm f/2.8. Then I'll switch to Canon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavepaintings Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 In dream land, 12-600 mm f2 IS. However that would be the size of a small house. Id love to see more 2.8's with IS. On a full frame 28-300 f2.8 with IS would be ideal if they could keep it sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfred_maragh Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 A 10-1000 f1.0 USM IS (five stop IS). I guess this would have fluid lens elements that are similar to that in the human eye; all that would happen is that a magnetic or electrical field changes the shape and thickness of the lens elements to confer perfect focus and change focal length. Could be done in a two oz. package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_in_PA Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'm a Nikonian, and here's the deal... I bet for every lens you wish Canon would make, we Nikonians could make a list of five we wish Nikon would make. I'm not switching, but you guys have it great. F4 zooms in particular...

anson_ko Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 24-135 F2.8 IS L, or 50-150 F3.5 macro IS L for FF sensors. Those could be practially possible in price and size/weight. 8-600mm f2.8 is nice but I dont' think it's realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_cheng2 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I second 200-400mm f4 L IS USM at least as sharp as, if not more sharper than, the popular and much sought after nikon counterpart . Better lighter and less expensive as well. This is an attainable target! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou korell Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Ok, taking a big risk here..... I would like to see Canon ship all of their existing lenses right from the factory - without needing to be sent back for calibration right out of the box! If they did that, I think we'd all be very happy. :) That said.....Canon has done a great job in providing a good selection. I shoot both Canon and Nikon. Nikon needs more fast primes. Given my experience with Canon lenses out of the box, I'd go completely Nikon if they could do that. But until then it's hard to beat a fast Canon prime like the 35 1.4 or 24 1.4. I use them a lot and they have been the most reliable of my Canon lenses. I'd sure like to see what Nikon could do to top those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujwal Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 It would be a failed attempt to match Nikon 12-24mm. Thats the lens canon desperately needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminoliverhicks Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I posted my wish for a 50mm f0.95 before I knew they made one for the Canon 7. So it's not physically impossible, Mark Anthony Kathurima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminoliverhicks Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well I guess it's theoretically f0.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_r2 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Since it's a wish, I'd like to see at 8-1200mm f0.5L USM IS, that also had tilt shift capability and came with a mounting adapter to fit EOS, FD, and Nikon cameras. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25asa Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 A 200-500mm L lens, plus a 50mm f2 Leica copy with 8 aperture blades and super sharp lenses to outresolve any 50mm in their lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_crist Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 An 85mm f1.2L mkIII that focuses as fast as other Canon primes. The mkII focuses SLOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin-s Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 <p>Yes, an equivalent of Nikon’s 14–24 would be great.</p> <p><i>“TS-E 2.8/20mm L”</i></p> <p>Why not make that a TS-E 4/18mm L?<br> I used to have a Plaubel Proshift and loved it</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drate_berry Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 As for a new lens, I would also like to see a 200-400 f/4L IS USM that was optically better than the Nikon. It would of course be nice if said lens was less expensive than the Nikon, but only if optical quality was maintained. As to revising/reviving old lenses. I agree with Steve Crist that a new 85 f/1.2L with fast autofocusing would be great. I have shot a fair number of indoor sports where a wide aperture is required and a 1.2 would be great. On the same note of indoor sports a 50mm f/.95 would also be great. Not really sure what kind of DOF one would have with this lens, but it would make some impossible shots more possible indoors.

tony_law Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Since Canon has so many crop bodies out there. EFS 15-70 f/2.8 IS USM or upgrade the EFS 17-85 to EFS 17-85 f/2.8 IS USM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorriman Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 For FF a cheap 50/1.2 that slightly undercorrects spherical aberration for nice bokeh. For APS-C a USM 30/1.4 as above and that doesn't worry itself too much about vignetting in order to keep the weight down (unlike the rather-too-large Sigma beast). The FF 50/1.2 would also cover the APS-C portrait people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bueh Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 EF-S (and EF) prime lenses with built-in <abbr style="border-bottom: 1px blue dashed;" title="Image Stabilization">IS</abbr>. It's my main reason for abandoning Canon and switching over to Pentax.... I love Canon's lens line-up, but fast primes plus image stabilization is pure magic!

ben_quinn1 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 how about a 70-200 f/2.8 L that is not white but black (with a red stripe) and has a macro like the 24-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock-Photos Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 A super wide zoom for full frame cameras. I just had to by the Sigma 12-24, but have no complaints yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
