Red obsession

When I was young, I grow up in a room with walls painted in red. It took me more then 20 years to love again the color red. The thing that cured my “red illness” was photography.
Here is a little cure for those of you that suffer from the same “disease” as me, which is obsession for red. Enjoy!

Canon Two New Telephoto Lenses Under Development

The Canon EF200mm f/2L IS USM and EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM, incorporate a high-performance Image Stabilizer, feature optical systems utilizing special optical materials such as fluorite to correct chromatic aberrations, making possible high-resolution, high-contrast shooting performance.

The Canon EF200mm f/2L IS USM, targeting users who seek a brighter lens for portraiture and indoor sports photography, realizes a large aperture of f/2. The EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM, expected to deliver telephoto performance surpassing the current top-of-the-line EF600mm f/4L IS USM super telephoto lens, is being developed in response to requests from users working in the fields of sports and news photography who are looking for a high-performance lens that offers a longer focal length.

“These new lenses demonstrate that Canon is continuing to respond actively and flexibly to the wide-ranging needs of professional and advanced amateur users, with the aim of contributing to the expansion of photographic possibilities for SLR cameras,”

said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A.

“Canon’s EOS System is the premier brand of Digital SLR cameras, and we take great pride in offering the world’s largest selection of interchangeable autofocus lenses.”
