Title: Canon 18-200mm EF-S f/3.5-5.6 IS Post by: scalesusa on August 24, 2008, 10:48:49 AM The Canon china web site that had leaked the information about the 50D also reveals that it will indeed be available with a 18-200mm lens.
Apparently someone copied part of the canon site, and you can dig down thru the screens to see the kit info. http://www.canon.icp.dog-cr.jp/products/camera/eos/50d/accessory_kit.html you can use google translate to get a rough English version (Images do not Translate).

Yes, it does look like the rumored EF-S 18-200/3.5-5.6 IS is very likely to appear alongside the EOS 50D in a few days time. It seems likely that it may be offered with the 50D as a "kit". Title: Re: Canon 18-200mm EF-S f/3.5-5.6 IS Post by: KeithB on August 29, 2008, 11:18:16 AM Hey Bob:
If (When) you review this, can you specifically compare it to the EF-S 17-85? Title: Re: Canon 18-200mm EF-S f/3.5-5.6 IS Post by: Bob Atkins on August 29, 2008, 08:55:07 PM I would do that. I'd probably compare it with the 17-85IS, 18-55 and 70-300IS because those are lenses I have. It might be fairer to compare it to the 55-250IS, but though I have used and tested that lens, it's not own that I own.
No promises on when I'll get hold of an 18-200 to test, but it's on my list! |
