I'm most impressed with the "full time mechanical manual focusing." Bleeding-edge, baby!

->> Hey Guys
I looked at the new picture of the Canon 20-400 2.8 and it does not look right. Sigma release a monster lens that looks like a military weapon it's big. I think we are being scammed. |

Write back when your camera guy confirms the 8-1200mm f/1.0 |

->> In case anybody is wondering:
the f number of the widest f stop on a lens is determined by a mathematical equation. F = focal length / diameter.
therefore, a 20-400 2.8 would be impossible. |

->> Joe -
Under that logic a 70-200/2.8, 24-70/2.8 and 120-300/2.8 and 200-500/2.8 would be impossible as well.
As long as the diameter of the aperture adjusted as the focal length changed it would indeed be possible. Practical or economical is an entirely different question. |

->> Also, the angle of the dangle is determined by the heat of the meat times pie. Now take in consideration that the undetermined equal side of the obtuse circle will also circumnavigate the total diameter of the right angle. Therefore, when the light emits a cast of fuscia in the overlaying images.
What actually happens is that your optic nerve gets tangle ,and intertwined, with your rectal nerve and give you a shitty outlook on life.
Sorry, just woke up and finally had a cup of coffee.. I'm a little wired!
Hope everyone had a good laugh and have a good week.
