Add macro function at 2:1 (assuming I'm reading it correctly), ~$2k "New", ~$5k We have a 400/4 DO with 2:1 macro, in about never, at ~$12800  Sounds about right with the current pricing scheme. I thought Canon would give up on the DO lenses, but who knows. William | Fuji X-E1 | Fuji X100S | Flickr

Maybe it is just covering base by patenting but I would be very interested in a supertelephoto non-DO macro.

So in practical terms what it does is allow Canon to make smaller lighter lenses with less elements in them with as good or better IQ than a lens using refractive (normal) optics thanks, and why is it that people say the DO system failed? sorry again for ignorance.

Price and donut bokeh I believe. Though I really don't see much of a problem in the bokeh from the 400 DO which, if it were reasonably priced (the main problem), I would love to have. -Tom

Its price and the fact the performance was only so-so... the 70-300 DO for instance was a very good little lens, but cost over a grand and wasnt that much better than the cheaper 70-300 in some ways...
