Re: Why does Canon not make such light zoom lenses anymore ?

I  think even the 6D is around 3x too expensive for anyone considering it to put a cheap lens on the front just to reduce weight. When a FF rebel exists (at a rebel price point) then maybe we'll see such a lens.  Old, light ff lenses are easily available used and are cheap too because nobody wants them anymore so why make a new one with substandard quality.
