Btw, I did find that Canon made one single telephoto lens under 4" in length:
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM

Anyone play around with it? Is it worth it?
read a review out of curiosity of it. few plus's and munus's about it.

pro - very light weight, very compact, and pretty decent quality

cons - at wide open f-stops, it gets a halo effect on things, and out of focus stuff turns out really round with a bullseye look in the middle of it (like having a light out of focus)

solution, shoot at about F8 or higher.

aparently the person doing the review liked that subjects getting their pictures taken seemed more comfortable around the smaller lens because it's less imposing.


to me, seems like a lot of money for something you can't use at wide F-stops, but on the other hand, it's clearer then most non-L series stuff, and it's very light weight.

if you do a lot of sports events with great lighting, go for it.
