Canon 70-200f2.8 DO a smart option? - toni-a - 07-11-2016 Just saw a patent for Canon 70-200f2.8 DO While the concept is attractive since a 70-200f2.8 is in the bag of almost every wedding photographer, I wonder if despite the gain in size and weight it is a viable option AFAIK DO lenses have a rather poor bokeh, 70-200f2.8 is mainly am portrait lens, poor bokeh is toxic here let's see if it will hit the market anytime soon http://www.canonrumors.com/patent-canon-70-200mm-f2-8-do/ Canon 70-200f2.8 DO a smart option? - Brightcolours - 07-11-2016 Quote:Just saw a patent for Canon 70-200f2.8 DOThe new DO tech from Canon does not have bad bokeh. Canon 70-200f2.8 DO a smart option? - Klaus - 07-11-2016 I think the rule is that there are no rules. The early DOs had odd out-of-focus highlights but e.g. the Nikkor 300mm f/4 PF is quite decent there (although I am not sure whether its bokeh is perfect really). I suspect that if Canon will ever offer a DO in this class, they'll keep the conventional lens for quite a while as a parallel offering ... simply because it's cheaper. |
