oscar_van_der_velde Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 <p>I hope for a EF 100mm f/2 Macro USM IS. It would be one of the most versatile lenses to exist (macro, portrait, sports, theater and concerts, landscapes)...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_ferling Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 <p>Image stabilized 100 f/2.8 macro would be an immediate appeal to me. I currently use the non-IS for tabletop product photography on a 40d, and portraits on a 1Ds.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy_gray Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 <p>What would an IS version of the 100mm f/2.8 Macro offer for tabletop work that can't already be accomplished using the current 100mm f/2.8 Macro, mounted on a tripod, using mirror lockup and a cable release?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylynn Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 <p>I saw this and my first thought was exactly what Bob wrote.</p> <p>This translational shake compensation sounds like a solution looking for a problem.

lester_wareham Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 <p>"Useful for macro"<br> Agreed Bob, lateral accelerations also becomes significant for wider angle lenses.<br> You can be sure that Canon will bring out a 180mm macro IS simply because my wife just got me the non-IS as a 25th wedding anniversary present. I heard this news before I had even mounted the lens on the camera, typical.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nikon lens got a lot of stick when people tried to use it at life size without reading the instructions explaining the IS effectiveness drops off above 1:60.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewoo Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 24-70 IS is speculation.. A speculation is a guess... You seem to justify your guess by stating that its done logically.. That justification itself is illogical... Because its not like people speak in what they think is illogical... They all think they make sense.. I'm not saying you're wrong about a possibility of a 24-70 IS, but that statement belongs on canonrumors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_bryant1 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 <p>Joe: Given that the forum admin has joined in the speculation, I'm pretty sure we're within acceptable limits here. Surely informed guesses, properly labeled as such, are fine.</p> <p>I'm eager to see where this new IS is used first. I wonder how useful it will really be, though... while shooting macro hand-held outdoors, I often have to use high shutter speeds, but it's because of subject motion, not mine. Shot a spider in its web on a breezy day recently: That's an exercise in madness, and IS wouldn't have helped a bit.</p> <p>....Also, for what it's worth, I think around $500 is the current price point for a full-frame 1:1 macro lens, and I think Canon will be reluctant to abandon that. Especially in a market with a lot of very good third-party macro lenses. So I don't see a new $900 replacement for the 100/2.8 macro, unless they've just given up and abandoned that market to Sigma and Tamron. Which I suppose is not impossible, they've done that elsewhere; Canon doesn't even make a circular fisheye, for example.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_king2 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 <p>My thoughts exactly. That way you only pay for IS once. Plus sensor shift IS would stabilise a live view image...</p> <p>Cheers, Bob</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakim_peled1 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 <p dir="ltr">Personally I'd like to see a 100/2.8 IS as for me it's killing two birds in one shot. Yes, pun intended. :-)</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">First, it will end my everlasting search for a light telephoto. 70-200/4 IS? Not fast. 100/2.8? No IS. 135/2? No IS. </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Second, I always wanted macro with IS. I tried extension rings and close-up filters on IS zooms (24-105 IS, 70-200/4 IS and 70-200/2.8 IS) but it was very cumbersome to use so I reverted to true macro lenses, first the 100/2.8 and later the 60/2.8. </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">For quite some time I even thought about getting a D700 just to be able to attach the 105/2.8 VR to it.

desmond_kidman Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 <p>I'll take any macro 100mm or longer with IS. I have a friend with the Nikon who is a beginner. He forwarded some closeup flower images that were handheld. I could not believe it. Though I'd like longer than 100mm I'd buy whatever macro they put it on. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
