Lens Aperture Design AKA "Outies"

[Tonygreenmike19]

After the RF 85mm F1.2L USM, the other lenses such RF 135mm F1.8, RF 24-105mm F2.8L USM Z  etc. do not have the "Innie #aperture #diaphragm"..The current line up of lenses have the outie. Yes, I love the Innies more than Outies. Apart from aesthetics, does the outie give any optical advantage in image quality versus the innies? Why Canon is making lenses with outies? Thanks

The original post. No, wait. The whole conversation

Thanks for the link.  I don't think there is anything to laugh. My queriosity is about lens construction.

I spent a few years as a Client Service Representative.  I'm not making fun of your question... I do understand what you are asking.  My comment was based on the fact that we would often get a laugh out of "I've never been asked that before!" even on serious questions.  It's refreshing (in a good way) to be asked something different instead of the usual often repeated questions.

My bad. The misunderstanding is regretted. Yes Gary, you are right, certain things/moments/instances in life make us smile and somethings make us laugh...like how I laughed at myself for my misunderstanding. Cheers. BTW, I visited the link you shared, but I am unable to locate an expert or techie. It has support links to various products, I chose EOS lenses and then RF and I chose 135mm which I am using now. It takes me to FAQs, error codes, technical specifications, Warranty info, service upgrades, lens caps and ADDITIONAL SUPPORT has How-To Videos,Canon Community and Knowledge Base, for further help it is asking us to register our product. I am in India and I have already registered my product at the respective portal. I am not sure how I sould reach a techie for queries such as mine. Thank you.

I guess we are talking about how the aperture blades are overlapped?

"I guess we are talking about how the aperture blades are overlapped?"

I can't believe any of you are talking about it at all. Must be a slow, a real slow morning.

I was up alone, my wife was sleeping in.  Finished my book.  Waiting for my son to call.  Had time to kill for 20 minutes.  So....  😄

Not the worst thing you could have done I guess.

[Tonygreenmike19]

Indeed. Thanks for sharing the picture which shows the difference. I have been curious about this overlapping pattern ever since I started using Nikon FM10 (1999) with its 35-70mm lens. I am more partial towards the Innies (like the one in RF85mm f1.2), because it looks more appealing aesthetically.

I agree 100%. If I were a phone agent and someone asked me, "What criteria makes you guys pick an innie aperture design over an outie?" I would literally laugh out loud because, first off, what in the world are you even talking about? 😂

Once we're on the same page, you can call me Elmer Fudd because I'm hunting rabbits and going down ALL the rabbit holes to figure it out!
