...? I don't get it

Major JIBERISH to me I guess that I better start my Rosetta stone lessons today .

Canon gear-heads speculating/wish listing lens updates - only in Chinese(?).

My weird sense of humor. It's a universal Canon forum thread, like a form. Change the language, you could plug it right in here. Probably the Inuits have the same thread going.

Do they argue about using UV filters too?

ROFLMAO

Oh I get it. This is funny because people all around the world have their guesses about new developments. And here I thought only English forums did that.

UV filters are more important in the Antarctic than the Arctic.

I'm lost, what am I missing.

I guess they did the best prime/zoom poll or something like that.....those script characters are Chinese to me.

Oh, I get it, because of the Ozone hole! .

Very bizarre thread.

And I ain't talking of the Chinese one.

True humanity, as a single but diverse culture:
We are a majority-English speaking forum...
Speculating about a Chinese-speaking forum...
Where both languages are citing lens specs with arabic numerals!

(description of the Chinese character version of L-O-L)

it was basically asking what is the walk-around lens for their 5d2.

24-70L: 58 ppl
24-105L: 42 ppl.

these are the most popular ones, count >80% (? guessing, didn't calc.)

I am surprised to see there are 14 people using 50L for this. wow.

I had a Chinese friend of mine translate part of that post, and I offer that surprising translation below.

Chinese Forum Person #1: "My dog has no nose"

Chinese Forum Person #2: "Oh really, how does he smell?"

Chinese Forum Person #1: "Terrible"

I can't even see the Chinese, just garbage characters. The site wants me to install something - no thanks!

The OP basically wants to collect consensus/poll on the lens that everyone is using and asks for feedback on the lens.

Slow news day...
