I can understand all the reasons why many people don't want a forum for non-Canon cameras, but I think it would be useful to have a forum for non-Canon lenses with a Canon mount.

One of the main reasons we discuss the various Canon lenses on POTN, and have a forum for sample photos taken by those lenses, is so that we can make decisions on which lenses to purchase. Given that there are more non-Canon lenses available for our cameras than Canon-brand ones, I think this is a good enough reason for at least a sub-forum, if not a main one.

Anyone else agree with me?

The EF and EF-S lens Forum is for all lenses that can be mounted on your Canon camera. You'll notice that non-Canon-brand lenses are also included in the sample archive.

That'll teach me to look before I leap. I saw the name "Canon EF and EF-S Lenses" and jumped to the wrong conclusion. Sorry about that. I think this thread can be closed.

What about for non EF or EF-S lenses...?

EF and EF-s refer to the current crop of Canon mounts the only other Canon mount in current use is the FD. There are many different lens manufacturers that offer such lenses like Tamron, Sigma, Tokina and the like.

If you want a section for non Canon mounts then you are currently in the wrong place. Such offerings will not happen until the Forum software is updated.

Once a lens is adapted to operate on a modern Canon camera it becomes a defacto Canon lens. I don't see a separate section ever being created in the near future.

Fair enough...
