p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · New rumor: CANON EF 28-560MM F/2.8-5.6


http://www.canonrumors.com/patent-canon-ef-28-560mm-f2-8-5-6/

Considering the price of the 200-400 EXT, and that "only" gives us 200-560 f/4-5.6, I can't imagine how this, if it were a real lens, would be able to balance image quality, price, and weight.

Thoughts?

Full frame? 5.6 at 560mm? Starting at 28mm?
I would love to be wrong, but I doubt it.
It would very large, very expensive and also most likely with a LOT of distortion at the wide end.

That's a hell of a FL and aperture range. More power to them if they can pull it off.

I thought the CR thing about this maybe lens was a patent filing. This does not mean Canon is expecting to do anything with this lens. Most patents attempt to prevent the competition from doing the same lens.

Many patents never materialize into products, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Patent says the lens is 30cm long and extends out to 40cm. That is a fair bit bigger than the 100-400. About the same as the Sigma Sport 150-600.
I don't expect to ever see this lens in production.

Canon needs to get producing lenses they've already announced like 600DO

Possibly attractive for some video users, but I wouldn't even use it if they gave them away for free ;-)

Yeah, and a built-in mule for transportation.

So could it be a 28-400 with a built in 1.4X?

Yeah -- there's a real danger of someone else producing such a lens for FF. Still, they might have wanted to think about that with the 24-70 and 70-200 lenses a while ago, if it would have worked.

Who knows what Sigma and/or Tamron are thinking about regarding this zoom range. Anyway, patents are only a stop gap and it all boils down to how much legal fees you want to pay.
