I'm waiting for the day where there's lenses like 50-500 DC or 300-800 DC. ;p ;p
This is also another advantage of DC lenses too. :sticktong

well, yes more reach, but the price is smaller pixel ... and all the inherent disadvantages of smaller pixels
Whoa...if they had an affordable 300-800mm DC OS or a 50-500mm DC OS, it might make me seriously consider getting back into APS-C cameras. For wildlife stuff, it'll be great.
It looks like it is not gonna to happen. Just look at the lastest 70-300VR from Nikon - it is still a FF lens.
Or maybe, FF sensors are dropping in price faster than predicted, so no urgency to produced DX type of lenses.
Yeah, I am one of them, still holding on to the film F80 camera becos the price is far too LOW to sell :sweat: - so keep it as an AntiQue. Haven't shot a roll of film in the last 3 years or so.:nono::think: :think: Mabbe they still supporting the large base of users still holding to their film cams.
Faster, better, cheaper - who dunwant?i am waiting for DX super teles too
lighter, smaller, faster and cheaper

if nikon produce such lens, they cannot mount on the f6 flagship.
for companies, flagship bodies must be able to mount the flagship lenses. so for nikon, AFS 500 f4 DX (if it were ever produced) not being compatible with the f6 will be a joke.
on the other hand, flagship bodies can forgo the insignificant non flagship lenses (eg afs dx 18-70)
likewise for canon, not being able to mount efs lens on 1ds body is no issue. but not being able to mount efs 500 f4 IS (if it were ever being produced) on 1ds is also a joke

Unless you wanna BiG "phallic symbol" lens to impress your future mother-in-law. :bigeyes: :bsmilie:
Haha, I dun mind having one more mother-in-law leh.i already have a mother-in-law,
will i have one more in the future? :bigeyes: :bigeyes:
Not likely will happen. For long lenses the aperture is pretty much determined by the first element, eg 200 f/2.8 diameter is at least 200/2.8=72mm ==> 77mm filter, so there won't be a significant size and price reduction even if you reduce the image circle.I'm waiting for the day where there's lenses like 50-500 DC or 300-800 DC. ;p ;p

How the lens size can increase "buffer/shooting" speed ?Hey wait, I thought one of them already use this effect to increase "buffer/shooting" speed!
