Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USMa little long but I'm really loving my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USMand can only imagine how cool the "IS II" would be!
And don't forget the cape buffalo, or the rhinos...
Given the opportunity, i'd still want to shoot them, but...
If you're not scared, you're just that much closer to being dead [:)]
Simple.
A 10-500mm f/1 IS, with an MFD of 11".
Isn't that what everyone would want??
[:D]

My EF 70-200mm f/2.8<span style="color: red;"]L IS II came today. [:D] Although I've only taken a few shots with it, already I'm convinced that it's an amazing lens...

A 10-500 with IS sounds a lot like the newest digital point and shoot cameras doesn't it? Also they probably even offer "macro"capabilties with MFD of less then 11" [:P]
haha Yes, I like the excitement of maybe not getting the lens changed in time for the shot!
But, what you say is true. The Power Shot's with their 20x zooms are like 28ish-600ish, and their super macro has MFD of 0". Literally. I have the S5IS and you can touch the lens and focus. Of course, their macro doesn't have much of a magnification rating, since you have to be fully zoomed out to use it. So, it's cool, but not really what a 100mm macro lens could do.
PS: I can only imagine what size my "dream" lens would be? maybe 70 or 80 lbs?3 feet long? lol
What, only a 50X zoom? Canon makes a 100X zoom and weighs in at only 52 lbs! It has a focal length of 9.3mm to 930mm!!!![:O] And with an apeture of f/1.7 to f/3.4.
Here is a link toit http://www.canon.com/bctv/products/digi100xs.html.
And another link http://www.canon.com/bctv/faq/100x_zoomlens.html.
John.
Haha John and it even has IS!! And a MFD of 3m [:O] And it's got that grayish color [:P]
OK John...I guess we set our sights too low with a 50x zoom. How about an 5.6-1,560mm f/1.2 IS DO USM lens that weighs...fourteen ounces.
