I have a Canon EOS mount and want an all purpose lens. These are my criteria: Focal length from 10 to say 700mm, fixed aperture of 1.8 or better yet 1.4, autofocus, image stabilization, weight not more than 5 ounces, price not more than $300. What do you suggest ??
Do your research and it there that you will find the answer.

I found it at H&B. Oddly, they called it the Unicorn.

I know this is a joke. My best suggestion would be. The next time you make a joke try to make it funny. Just saying.

Look folks..... anybody who did not IMMEDIATELY see that this was a joke is NOT a true HOG. We call those folks Noobs, Newbies, or amateurs. Don't get wrapped all around the axle if you don't instantly recognize these lighthearted jokes. You'll learn soon enough if you read UHH every morning like many (or most) of us.

You're in luck, I actually have what you need, a 10-600mm and its actually 4 ounces but sorry, its only f1.8. Good news is its only $250, send me the check and I'll get in the mail to you ASAP and another bonus, free shipping....

Get thee to a camera store that rents Canon lenses. Try them out and decide what turns your wheel.

If you find a 5oz, 700mm, F1.8 lens for under $300, grab it and run. It has never been made. The front element on an F1.8 700mm alone, would weight more than 5 oz. Go to E-BAY.com. They have a great selection and pricing is closer to what you are hoping for.
