footnoteblograndom musings and missives

Now, I’m not one to follow too many rumors, only enough to purchase after a major trade show (e.g. MacWorld), and to see if the last update would be made not entirely too far from a purchase. I’m nowhere near collecting more photo gear, but prior to Photokina, the buzz is afoot with Canon gear.

• A new pro body at 22MP.
• 100-400 f4 IS L (constant aperture)
• 50mm f1.2. I wonder if this would be an L lens; at US$1600 rumored, I would think so.
• 20-50 f2 Interesting. Very short range, but a real nice street lens. Rumor deleted off fredmiranda.com (!)

I don’t know how much credence to give to any of this hype, but there it is.
