Re: How Do You Like the RF-S 18-150mm?

I would like it more if it was
* 14mm at the wide end,
* constant f/4
* weather sealed
I wouldn't mind if it was shorter at the long end, say 100mm or even 80mm if that would make it easier for Conon to make it more compact
But what I'm asking for is a better quality lens almost to 'L' level and giving me 24-105mm coverage without having to carry a FF camera - something Canon has always seemed reluctant (if not stubbornly resistant) to do for crop lenses
They did do the EF-s 17-55F2.8 and the 15-85 F3,5-5.6 which were good lenses, especially the 2.8 couple that to the only 2 EF-s primes the 24mmF2.8 pancake and a 60mm macro
so canon only made 4 decent lenses with good build and optics for the EF-s mount in 20 years so i don't hold much hope for RF-s
a mention has to go the 10-18 and the 55-250STM although cheaply made are optically good
the last EF-s 18-55 kit lens the F4-5,6 one is also pretty sharp

Attention Dislexsic i mean dyslexic person... This post will have many although spell checked, spelling and grammatical errs ..its The best its going get so no need to tell me it is bad I know it is .....................................................................................................
the EOS M is not dead and wont be for a long time ....as long as you don't want a flagship camera with a VF...if that's the case it died sometime ago
My 5D IS a MK1 classic

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer

If you wait for a camera that will tick all your boxes ....by then you will have more boxes to tick..... so the wait continues .....David Appleton
