I admit, I have been changing my mind every second day in the last few months. I finely came to the understanding that no matter what I try to do it is just a temporary fix that does not really make any sense. I decided (after a day) to return R1 and get 5D. As a matter of fact, you helped me a bit asking me what problem I was trying to fix. I started to ask myself the same question and got the answer. Thank you.

Oh great. So if this one doesn't work out, then IT'S MY FAULT!!!
You're not welcome.
;-)
Hope you enjoy the 5D as much as I enjoy mine.

Is a 300/4.0 or even a 300/5.6 Macro... with 1:1 magnification ...Imagine the working distance
It would even be better if this lens would go up to 2:1, but I'm not sure that's possible without loosing infinity

I can crop at the long end myself if I want to
There's no substitute for mm²

I'd rather have a 24/2L and a 50/1.2L and not having to pay more than 700€ for each though...
A 15/2 and 30/1.2 EF-S would be good enough for me as well.

I think this lens would be wonderful as a higher end version of the 100-400. I have been next to others using the Nikon 200-400 in the field and I must say I am quite jealous.
On the other hand, I would expect to pay $4k for the lens and therefore wouldn't get it for years.

Frankly, I'm surprised that there aren't more choosing 15 and 19.

2) EF 17mm, and for me it needn't be f/1.8. My priorities would be that it is relatively light weight and very sharp across the frame when stopped down, sharp at centre wide-open. It would need to be well corrected for curvature of field.
Price: $350
1) EF-S 12mm f/2, otherwise same as above. This lens might just make me consider sticking with the cropped sensor line for a bit longer.
3) EF 24/1.4L II. Only two gripes with the current version: Heavy, and apparently doesn't outperform the 17-40L when stopped down. It would need to be the best 24mm currently available, at all apertures. At the moment I feel that you're spending all your money on the bokeh, and not really gaining a lot in sharpness compared to the L-zooms (IMO).

This could be nice, if it would be good. It needs to be better then the superb 12-24 sigma, that I'm using today...
Same as under (1)
I think the 24L isn't a bad lens, anyway, I have the 24 TSE so this one doesn't interess me that much
50 mm is a boring FL to me...so no interest from me
50 mm is a boring FL to me...so no interest from me
Not enough difference with (my) 85L
I want long macro lenses, would never buy it
In between 85L and 135L, wouldn't interess me (85 & 135 are OK to me)
Could make the 135L even nicer. Would allow the forum to discuss for months about the fact the IS version is less sharp... nice plan
Too heavy and expensive for me
That could be a nice one, It could replace the 180 L and combine it with the 200L
Nice but I prefer 13
Nive but I prefer 600 instead of 560. Question remains, what's the advantage over a 300 + 2x convertor
It needs to be better than Popeye. F1/4.0 would be allready ambitious
This would be a heavy monster I guess, but a great FL
Not my cup of tea (FL)
Nice for AFs camera's, I'm FF'er, so not for me
This would be nice, I would probably sell the 70-200 IS 2.8 for it
Nice, ideal sport lens I guess, would sell very well, too long for me
Nikon copy, very popular lens, very good for sports, but not my thing
No, 23 is better
This would be one hell of a lens. Would definately be a niche product, but a real new dreamlens after the disappearrance of the 1200
I miss some options in your list. How about DO lenses : 500/2.8 DO IS, 600 DO/2.8 IS eg
