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

Quote: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!

  My Fuji, too..........you've dropped your Fuji JoJu?

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 Big Grin).
