Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

When I posted the new Canon VR lens so many Canon haters kept calling it just another 3D gimmick.
They are clueless as to what this lens is and it is not a 3D gimmick lens
Watch this video and actually learn and then watch others by the author to get more in depth.
Canon is competing with other systems costing 20K and more and in some ways beating those systems with the R5 and the VR lens.

Interesting what's being done. There is a lens sold by Kolari? that has four lenses on one and projects 4 different filtered images onto the sensor. It's designed for remote sensing of agricultural land, etc. The same principle might be able to produce UV, visible and IR photos with the proper filters. It uses a specific Sony I believe, total cost about half the VR setup, but pretty expensive for an interesting toy for most of us. Used with a drone it does make remote sensing much more practical.
