Default Canon finally makes an *f4* 70-200 IS...

Smaller...Lighter...Cheaper.

I already have the 2.8 version, but many are going to jump on this one...

PS-- Oh, and how about a $1600 50mm f1.2 L while you're at it???

was looking through the canon eos system book, and apparently they used
to make a 50/0.9. Now that would be a nice lens to have!!

I have the Canon rangefinder 50 mm f/.95. As expected for a
lens of its 1960s vintage it is somewhat soft wide open and
vignettes badly. But it in fact works just fine for candid
shots.

"Somewhat" soft? That lens was a notorious dog!

Nothing to do with 60's vintage - many of whose better lenses are still
first rate today.

Canon trying to impress with a pointless high-tech exercise - what else
is new?
