* : This asterix shows some
discrepancy between the data provided by the brochures.
For the EF50-200mm f/3.5-4.5, its 5-3/4
inch is listed as equivalent to 146.4mm, whereas here, for the "L"
version, even though the inches remain
the same, the millimeters has changed.
Personal
Opinion
This is
one of those cases where Canon seized an opportunity to kill two birds
with one stone. On
one hand, casual photographers may want to go for the non-L version (which
was cheaper), while on the other hand, more serious photographers may want
to get the "L" version for quality. With
not much additional R&D costs (compared to other "L"
lenses), Canon has yet another "L" lens to offer.

pictures scanned from Canon brochures, in which the original image is
actually about 10 times smaller than the image that you see above.
Hence, the resolution of the above image is limited by the original size of
the brochure image. The image above is life-size. |
