Subject: EOS 1.6x telephotos?
Has anyone heard any rumours about Canon producing longer focal length
lenses for 1.6x crop digital cameras? It bugs me to carry round the
great lump of a 100-400L when half the light it gathers is wasted.
Pentax have announced a nice-looking 60-250 f4. Sigma are starting to
move, with a 50-150. However, since the Canon bodies don't have
body-integral IS, we're rather limited to Canon lenses. With Canon
having abandonded the depth mode that caused me to buy EOS originally, I
might actually think about changing systems when my 10D gets past it.

Hi Peter,
All I've heard about are the few lenses in the pipeline such as the EF 50
f1.2L.
What's wrong with Canon's EF 70-200 f4L? Don't know how it compares with
your 100-400L in weight, but it sort of compares in spec with the Pentax
lens you cited.
