The 70-200mm range lens.

[xunjas]

In fact the 70-200 series of Canon's L zooms are the most popular.

1-3K for f/4 & f/2.8 are still affordable for people compared 6-7k if the aperture were bigger than f/2.8 =)

Canon's current largest aperture lens is the 50mm and 85mm at f/1.2 and cost lesser than 6-7K. Maybe the new 200mm f/2 could fit into the price.

200 f2 will be priced around there, but definitely not a 70-200 f2(if they even make 1...) which we are talking about...

I suppose the max aperture for zooms is f/2.8 for now, not anything larger than that.

if there is launch of f/1.8 70-200mm lens, their prime lens will suffer also..

the Oly 4/3s system has (at least?) two ƒ/2 zoom lenses - the 14-35mm and 35-100mm (FF equiv: 28-70mm and 70-200mm).

No it won't cos primes and zooms are different.

70-200mm f/1. 8 and primes with f/1.8, u buy primes?

If i need critical sharpness, yes. If there really is a 70-200mm f/1.8, i'd rather get the 200mm f/2.

the crisp and sharpness still supercedes the sharpness by zooms even thou the zooms can be a f1.8..

To date it's not been done yet. Primes' sharpness are still the 'crispiest' and most accurate as they do not have moving elements. Better not say so much le cos let me think of my 50mm f/1.2 ;p

So what do people usually use these types of lenses for?

You obviously have never shot models doing cat walk with flash and a 70-200 zoom.

 

[xunjas]

snip @ models~~;p

 

[dennisc]

I use Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 to shoot fashion shows, pageants, etc. Quality remains pretty consistent. It's the perfect range for these. What else it's for?

actual day wedding.. take candid shots without being seen by the subjects.. ;p

Not necessary especially when u're holding up a white lens which is pretty obvious.
