Sony to Announce An FE 50-150mm f/2 GM This Month

Canon makes the 24-105LZ for 3 grand USD > Internet : BOOOOOOOOO

Sony makes 50-150GM that sits awkwardly in between 28-70GM and Tamron 35-150, charges 3.5 grand USD > Internet : INNOVATION~

Great way to start a conversation by calling me fanboy. So 3500USD will justify it? I don't think so.
If Canon comes out with a 50-150/2L or 70-150/2L, a $3500 cost would not surprise me in the least. I'd preorder one, regardless. Hopefully they won't take nearly as long as the 6 years it took Sony to follow Canon's 28-70/2.

Starting a meaningful conversation with you would be a waste of time judging by the tone of your original post. You wanted to jab at Sony so you saw what you wanted to see.

I would order a lens like that at $3500 and it looks like neuro as well so you are clueless on lens R&D and pricing. Canon won't be asking for your insight anytime soon :ROFLMAO:

Personally, 40-135/2L will do for me, I use 40mm more than 35 or 50. So I can skip the RF100L & RF135L. And finally something can replace my EF135L.

So what are you doing here? You could just say you want it and ignore my comment.

I will jab Sony all day because Sony punishes a1 users, which I was. For an expensive flagship, I get treated like peasants, and you expect me to keep kissing $ony's a$$? You can do it. ;)

There’s already the 28-70/2, I’d prefer less overlap. 70-150/2 is pretty reasonable and could come in a little bigger than the 70-200/2.8.

I did like the 135/2L a lot, but found myself using the 70-200/2.8 II much more. I’ve been occasionally tempted by the RF 135/1.8 but much less frequently since getting the 85/1.2L DS.

Saw your bullcrap comment and called you out on it since no one else did yet.

Canon doesn't give a damn about you either, just your money. They do not know you by name nor give you exclusive flagship owner treatment. How do I know? You're not the only one that owned flagships.

It seemed to me as more of a jab at people who jab at Canon until Sony does it.
It is not just a Sony fanboy thing either.
Canon users do it here all of the time.

A Canon version of this lens would be an instant buy for me. I love my 100-300 f/2.8L, but an extra stop of light on the baseball field for closer action when the sun is setting would be niiiiiice. My EF 135 f/2L does great for this purpose, but a longer f/2 zoom would be hot business.

Unreasonable request: Make it a 70-170mm. The extra 20mm probably blows up the weight and cost, but I can dream.
