TD> I'd just like to clarify that it was not I who expressed the opinion the "n� plus

would be neat to see it! And, yes, it would be interesting to see how many Canon has
actually made. I also wonder

Hello Terry,
The 1200mm f5.6 was designed in 1993. The 75-300 IS, which was the first
with IS, dates back to the year 1995. Maybe Canon didn't think that
redesigning it would be necessary.
