"Crazy" is used as a hyperbole in marketing, so anything that has not been produced yet, in this case mating IS (and perhaps VCM) to a 14mm 1.4 would fit the bill. Also, it is not until the last few years that we even have the capabilities to make such extreme lenses, and the price will certainly be "crazy" as well.
Yeah, “crazy” to me is a focal length + aperture combination that we haven’t seen before that makes me go “Wow”, like the 28-70/2 or the 24-105/2.8.
Does Canon consider all other manufacturers when it says “not seen before!”? In that same vein, is it ‘crazy’ for Canon, a regular consumer or us camera nerds?
I think so. Canon Europe’s headline for the 10-20L launch press release reads “Canon launches the widest auto focus zoom lens ever made for a full frame camera,” and for that lens, they are right. It is the widest FF AF zoom lens at launch across all manufacturers — still is I think.
I too expect something not seen before. Another 1,4/14mm wouldn't belong to this category. Of course, the TS 1,4/14mm in mentioned in jest would not only be crazy, but totally unrealistic. Yet, since Canon have surprised us in the past with many premieres, what about a 10 or 12mm f/1,4, perfectly corrected for astro?I think so, Canon Europe’s headline for the 10-20L launch press release reads “Canon launches the widest auto focus zoom lens ever made for a full frame camera,” and for that lens, they are right.

Will definitely buy it as long as it is below 2000$ USD...a Swarovsky edition of the RF35 1.4 with rhinestone and a glowing red ring.
An option to have the red ring emit light would be sweet, as long has you can turn it off....a Swarovsky edition of the RF35 1.4 with rhinestone and a glowing red ring.
A must-have for real content creators.
Why only cheapish Swarovsky rhinestones? Wouldn't you prefer a Cartier version with the real thingies? And the red ring turned out of a giant ruby?...a Swarovsky edition of the RF35 1.4 with rhinestone and a glowing red ring.
A must-have for real content creators.
Of cause and a mode synchronized with the shutter to avoid impact to pictures and movies.
Would add to much weight and cost. This item is targeted to vloggers etc.
I cannot remenber one of the manufacterers use this word. IMO this is a term used by vloggers etc to generate views and clicks.

Maybe it's a 14 f/1.0.Yeah, coming out with a lens that Sigma already has wouldn't count as "crazy", I don't think.
SIGMA 14mm F1.4 DG DN | Art
The SIGMA 14mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is the world's first 14mm lens with an ultra-fast F1.4 maximum aperture, with incredible optical performance and unique features designed specifically for astrophotography.
The lighted red ring can double as a lens heater to keep dew of the lens for astrophotography
.I expect it will be more than $2k12mm 1.4 or 14mm 1.4 will be nice. I hope for 12mm
Whike it's on, I think it does because we know it needs to be turned off manually or now automatically when on tripods. Also doesn't it add size and weight?
