This is a quite interesting surprise from canon, but will it be an L lens??
And what are you're thoughts about it? :smoke:

Cheers,

Ronald

Blimey, thanks for the link (it should be noted that the picture wouldn't show the rumoured new lens, but one already of the market. They do this at Canon Rumours). Don't think I'll be up for one, as I've had the mark 2 version of the 100-400mm for exactly two weeks, though it's always interesting to see what may be in the pipeline. Also, they don't mention the likely weight... and the notion of a 28-560mm is remarkable - had to check it's not April 1st.

Too big a zoom range for my liking - a 280 to 560 would be better and a fixed 560 F5.6 better still!

I agree, too much of a zoom range which would end up compromising the image quality. Not sure how many people would use the 28mm end, just doesn't make sense to me. Canon should produce an equivalent of the Nikon 200-500 f5.6 at a similar price range.

I think this rumour is rather bizarre. It would be very heavy.
More credible is a 200-600 f4.5 - f5.6 that has been discussed for several weeks.
