New Lens from Canon?? - EF 800mm f/5.6 DO IS USM - you be the judge
According to the graphic on this site EF800mmf/5.6 DO IS USM there is a new lens coming from Canon. This is likely a fake…
BobAtkins.com points out there are a number of possible mistakes in the ad.
[01/22/07] - There’s an image supposedly grabbed from the Canon UK website of an 800mm f5.6 DO USM lens. There are a few problems though. If you look at the URL and the “breadcrumbs” trail, you’ll see one references the “fixed focal length” directory and the other references the “Image Stabilized Lenses” directory. On the real site for other lenses the URL and breadcrumbs match. Also the word “difractive” and “incorperates” are mis-spelled and the final sentence of the description makes no grammatical sense. The URL is also inconsistent with other lenses in that it puts a period in the aperture (i.e. 5.6), whereas other lenses like the 400/2.8 has a URL with no period in the aperture (i.e. 28), So the URL for this lens contains “_f5.6DOIS_”, whereas the URL for the 400/2.8 contains the string “_f28DOIS_”
So either it’s a pretty good, but imperfect fake or Canon need to hire better proof readers for their website and sort out the problems with their breadcrumbs and URLs!
