not looking good for the poll, Buster...

Actually, I'm shocked at how good it is looking -- at the time of this post, 1 in 6 have an interest in one or more of the lenses, which is a lot more than the 1 in 20 or less that I expected.

What we really need and want is an EF 50mm f/2 L IS USM Macro

Depends on the size, weight, and cost, but I'd be game.  If making it 1:2 or 1:3 made it "significantly" smaller, lighter, and less expensive, I'd go for that over 1:1.

It's truly surprising to me that Canon has not updated the 50 / 1.4, 50 / 1.2L, or 50 / 2.5 macro.  Then again, they've not updated the 85 / 1.8 or 100 / 2, either.  But even when they do, I have to ask what too so +++++++ long for them to do so.

I mean, wouldn't those be some of the most important lenses to update?  Or are they selling so well, anyway, that there was never any rush?  Then again, they updated the 70-200 / 2.8L IS which was super popular as well as the 85 / 1.2L, so that argument wouldn't seem to fly.
