STaylor Senior Member  719 posts Joined Mar 2005 Location: Memphis, TN More info | Well, if it comes to be, which it looks as if it may, then congrats to those who've been awaiting this lens. However, I'm just curious, but I don't really understand the fascination from the masses with 50mm. At least, not when Canon has a tack-sharp 35mm f/1.4. Granted, it's not 1.2.. but still. Couple of DSLRs, number of lenses and other stuff... plenty short on talent.

You would end up with basically a perfect portrait lens that most likely focuses a lot faster than the 85. I can only assume that it will be cheaper. www.trickoflight.net

The Leica noctilux (50mm f/1.0) manages with a front element of about 52mm . . . Then again, maybe Canon wants to minimise the number of filtersizes...

No, not surprised about that: L primes (35, 50, 85, 135) have a 72mm filter thread. Modern L zooms (16-35; 17-40; 24-70; 70-200 f/2.8 ) have 77mm filter thread. (the older ones, like the 20-35 and 80-200 also have 72mm) "I think the idea of art kills creativity" - Douglas Adams
