the new 50L will have to prove itself. The 35L,85L and 135L did not get where they are at by simply being "announced" at a photo premier.

The Trinity changes as well. With the new 85 1.2 II, better and better all the time. So, pick which you want because there's always a debate.

The "Four horsemen of the apocalypse" are three Big white Primes and a Sigmonster I'm afraid, it's been done :)


So it's just the "Holy Quadralateral" :lol:

Given that I am a member of the f1.2 club, I am all for the 50/1.2L lens, Not that I will get it anytime soon (I have higher priorities), but should my 50/1.4 ever drop....

Next up should be a 135/f1.2 (which should be easy given they made a 200/1.8 ), then followed by a 35/f1.2 and finished off with a 24/f1.2. They will be bracketed by a new 200/1.8 and a 16/1.8, And all will have beautiful Bokeh, extreme sharpness, focus very fast and we will all live in Xanadu.

I think I am losing it here. :)

I vote to drop the 135. It does have to be under 2.0.
