Re: Image Sample

I'm wondering if Canon is pushing the new 1.4x simply to eliminate some of the vignetting associated with the 2x (vignetting that's even slightly more pronounced with the G10 compared to the G9). Well...that, and they want to sell more products to the same buyers...

But if you look at the 2x as more or less like adding a tele-converter to a prime lens, it does just about the same job (that is, with a leap from 140mm to near the 280mm mark before vignetting is no longer a factor).
