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

As others have said, most people buying full frame want to put good glass on it, at least partly because of the cost of the camera.

Crop sensor cameras are the new cheap cameras, with light cheap lenses.

Even Tamron and Sigma are getting away from light cheap full frame lenses (i.e. "Art" line, etc).

I keep my old rebel and a cheap lens just for the purpose you are describing, and keep good glass on the 6D.
