500 mm lens

Is Canon going to be making a 500 mm lens like the new Nikon 500mm PF?  I have Nikon firends that are raving about the sharpness and light features of this new product.  I'm still carryng a heavy huge lens around with my 1DX2.

I think the f/11 long primes will give Sigma and Tamron a major run for their money.  Don't forget, these bodies have electronic viewfinders, so you should see a nice bright display.

 

You could almost put an eyepiece on one, and use the 800mm as a spotting scope!

I imagine Canon wil come out with pro level R lenses in time.  But the 1DX Mk III is still the king and will be for a while a long while. This is just the Rebel and kit lens level stuff.  f11, yeah, right! Smiley Sad

It ALWAYS matters, slow glass is a problem unless you are just a hobbyist or amateur.
