Amazing! Thanks!

Suddenly the horrible thought of dropping a lens just magnified by about 200%

What everyone else said.

Pity their server isn't the fastest kid on the block though.

Fantastic!!! I used to think that Cannon bought their glass off of Nikon. Now we know. Thanks for the link.

well, one can easily tell those videos are made by Japanese .. even more with the interviews

still Canon doesn't have a proper end-control in operation .... since so many even expensive lenses are often ill-adjusted.

I do not want to be a spoiler, but you can present any production of any optical device in such a slick way

fun wo watch though...
