    That's exactly what I want. My dream camera would be a 7Ds.

    Fun thread.


    No one ever talks about EFS lenses....and these don't have to be EFS, but aimed at those of us with cropped bodies (great optics assumed):
    • 15-85 f/4.0 and 17-55 f/2.8--weather sealed
    • To mimic the 70-200 range that is so popular on FF, how about a EFS 50-150 mm/40-120mm f/2.8.



    And, of course,
    • 100-400L II with 4 stop IS and weather sealed.
    • Updates to the non-L primes such as the 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm

    I agree with Kayaker72.


    The two biggest things I
    7D | 1D Classic | EF 70-200 f/2.8 L IS | EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L IS | EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS

    But as people like to point out, f/2.8 isn't quite the same on a crop body, so it occured to me, why not a 50-150mm f/2 IS USM lens?


    I know Canon typically doesn't make zoom less than f/2.8, and that cost, weight, and size can be factors in larger aperture zooms, but since it's an EF-S lens, it's already smaller and lighter and cheaper. Making it f/2 would just bring the size, weight and cost back up to non EF-S levels... or am I missing something (aside from typical people not wanting to pay for premium EF-S lenses).

    Canon: R8 | R7 | 7DII | 10-18mm STM | 28-70mm f/2.8 | 50mm f/1.8 | 85mm f/1.8 | 70-300mm f/4-5.6L | RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L
    Sigma: 18-35mm f/1.8 Art | 35mm f/1.4 Art | 50-100mm f/1.8 Art Laowa: 100mm 2X Macro
