Could you give a more detailed explanation of "blur plastic"?
I suspect you're correct on this point. Although I confess I was imagining something made of shark cartilage or bamboo.
Very true although the bonding in doublets is achieved with glue. In the Canon diagram it appears that the organic material bonds on its own with no need for adhesive. Canon will have to offer a more detailed explanation.
You may be right, although I thought the term referred to having different refractive characteristics within the material itself; i. e., that the center of that element would refract differently from the edges.
Agreed. It would have some refractive effect on all wavelengths but perhaps much more on blue light.Their description in the press release makes it sound like it only bends blue light - that's either absurd, or outright weird
Do you think steelhead3 meant to type "blue plastic"?
Probably. They use the term Organic, because it has some carbon atoms in <whatever it is>.
Being a liquid it will sit perfectly between lenses attaining the figures on the surfaces it sits between.
... which doesn't imply liquid at all. I seriously doubt it's liquid.
Touche.
It's called olfactory hallucination.
It probably was a liquid when it was placed between the tow lensing elements.
Interesting that some of us criticise Canon for not being innovative enough and yet when they do something interesting we criticise them for that as well.
It's joking on my part. I bought the 1Dx knowing about the "oil leaks". If I was interested in the new 35Lii I would buy it even if "BR" leaks. I have owned Canon for along time, back with the F1's/AE-1. I don't plan to change this time in my life. They do an excellent job for my needs.
Customers have the right to be demanding. SPurs innovation.
