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.

What about the 70-200 f4 IS that was just introduced? Or the 70-300
f3.5-5.6 DO IS?
Canon probably doesn't see the need to introduce lenses that match other
mfrs, mm for mm. One could drive oneself nuts trying to fill each micro
niche.
