I see Canon Rumors are talking up the chance of a Super wide, super fast zoom, again.

I expect this lens would be awesome for things like astro-photography and some other things I can't think of, but I really don't see the point of this lens from a practical or business point of view (at least in the short term), so a brief, informal Poll.

My point being, would Canon sell enough such exotic lens to make it worthwhile compared to a lens with 'mass market' appeal.

Would you rather Canon make a:

I love the 16-35/4LIS for travel. And I find I don't use it at the long end that often (or if I do, I really wanted a lot more reach). I would love the idea of a Canon version of the newly announced Nikon 14-30/4 S. If it had the IQ of the EF16-35/4LIS and the size of the Nikon it would be a home run.

Thanks, and I have similar thoughts (although I find I actually do use the 35mm end often).

It is great that Canon could engineer such a lens as a 14-21/1.4, and I know it is only a rumor but it seems to be gathering a bit of momentum.

I would much rather see (at his early stage of RF development) rumors of relatively small and light RF versions of lenses like my much loved EF 16-35/4. [It's great that the EF adaptor works so well, but how long would I have to use it?]

Exactly. And the adapter is fine but adds to the size. I too would be happy with just something like the 16-35/4LIS but hopefully a little smaller in RF form. As a matter of fact, that's the first RF lens I would have wanted.
