Because of the long walking distance between camera and chart?  ^_^

 

Sort of ... the distance to the chart is a pain in the **** indeed.

Now you know what I went through when I tried to find out AFMA at infinity,, infintiy is really far away and lots of air, dust and fog between

Make your guess why those 2 lenses habe been sitting on the bench for a year ...

f/5.6 at 600mm? We're looking at a front element at least the size of that from a 300/2.8. Are there any screw-in filters larger than 105mm available? (because it's going to be at least 110mm)

I suspect they might use the same rounding trick as Sigma did on the 120-300 f/2.8 and 105mm filter. Anyway, for bigger lenses like this, isn't it more traditional to have either a drop in filter, or lower cost still, a gel filter on the back?

 

As a random thought, what is the biggest non-L lens DSLR Canon have made? Anything bigger than a 70-300 zoom?

  Is it really only a year? ....in every other sense in my life, time has flown!  

 

  A good bit of exercise does a man the world of good ......don't you know?

 

 If you review the Nikon 200-500mm you will the first site to do it.......only field reviews so far!

If two of those beast are already my nemesis, how would you describe 2++ of them ?

I am tempted to but the Leica 100-400mm for myself though ;-)

Yeah, just get a Nikon F-mount for G lenses to Canon EOS mount.. oh wait, that Nikkor is an E lens with electronic aperture control, isn't it?

Drop-in filters mean additional complexity that has not yet been seen in non-L Lenses. I'm wondering what Canon could be up to in this case...

As for the second question, obviously I can't speak about the FD era - because I know zilch about that - but in the EF mount, there has been a 100-300/5.6 non-L lens (as well as the L in the same focal length range/aperture) and that was probably it. Anything longer and you would be looking at a red ring... or a green one in the 400 DO that was an L lens in anything but the official designation (as in: the hood was included ).
