smythie I wasn't even trying More info | Sep 19, 2012 09:51 | #9 I'd prefer it to be a max aperture of f/1.4 though. f/1.0 would be nice but stupidly unrealistic

There are similar lenses made for motion picture cameras, like the Panavision Primo 11:1 zoom (24-275mm T2.8) and the Angenieux Optimo 12:1 (24-290mm T2.8). The Angenieux weighs in over 24 pounds and almost 18 inches long and both have ungodly price tags. Of course cinema lenses have to meet different standards than still lenses (not to mention most cinema lenses are rented), but I would be surprised if Canon or whomever would build/sell such a lens for less than $10-15K or more even. (Look at the Cinema EOS 30-300mm lens!) Even if they did make such a lens for stills, who would want to lug a lens like that around all day? _______________
