Why no long APS-C Zooms
1 day ago
|
I have a Canon 100-400 MarkII I am using with a metabones adapter. Its Sharp and well built - but this thing weights a ton. Not much fun for a walk in the bird preserve.
I am wondering why there are no APS-C 400+ zoom. These should be much lighter than their FF counterparts and much less expensive.
I am sure that such a lens - especially if it worked on the 6300 - would be a boon to Birders /Sports and wildlife shooters everywhere.
There is the venerable Canon fixed 400 f5.6 we see being used by birders - but its fixed focal length, there's no IS and still FF.
I'm in the market for two of these if I could find ones with good optics and IS.
Why do the camera and lens manufacturers ignore this opportunity?
