We’ve received a bit more information about the upcoming Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS Known Specifications:

• 4 stop image stabilization (previously mentioned)
• Flourine coating
• 1 moulded aspherical element
• 9 aperture blades

We currently do not know the weight, dimensions, announcement date or how much this hotly anticipated lens is going to be.

We’re also going to put a [CR3] onto the tilt-shift lenses we’ve been reporting about.

The-Digital-Picture has completed their review of the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, and came away pretty impressed overall. While it’s not a perfect camera body, the image quality is great as far as noise and color go, but we’re all disappointed we didn’t get a dynamic range performance bump.

From TDP:

The 6D Mark II did not impress me with its AI Servo AF capabilities, its dynamic range is only adequate and I’m not a fan of the 8-way multi-controller. But, the image quality benefits, especially color and noise levels, of Canon’s full frame CMOS sensors are big, while the footprint of the 6D II remains small – as does, probably most importantly, the relative impact on your wallet. Expectations were that the 6D Mark II would deliver very impressive image quality and rapidly hit the most-popular list. It has delivered on expectations. Read the full review

I still haven’t used the EOS 6D Mark II enough to give my final verdict to folks, but I do like the camera so far.

Nokishita has posted similar information about the upcoming 4 lenses from Canon, along with a couple of added goodies.

Canon will announce the following new products soon. (Google Translated)

• EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM
• TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro
• The official name of the other two but unconfirmed, the focal length and F values 90mm f/2.8L and 50mm /f2.8L becomes. (We’ve pretty much confirmed a TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro and a TS-E 90mm f/2.8L Macro.)
• Lens hood “ET – 83E” “ET – 88” “ES – 84”
• Macro twin light “MT-26EX”

We do not have any information on pricing or availability of any of these four lenses. Since we’ve known about the 85mm f/1.4L IS for quite some time, we’re hoping availability comes swiftly after the announcement.

Canon Cinema EOS C200B at B&H Photo

As with most new Canon DSLR releases, there are some third party lenses that may present the odd vignette when “Lens Aberration Correction” is turned on with various Canon DSLRs.

From Sigma:
We have found that some SIGMA interchangeable lenses for CANON are not fully compatible with CANON EOS 6D Mark II released on August 4th, as well as EOS 9000D (77D), EOS Kiss X9i (Rebel T7i) and EOS Kiss X9 (Rebel SL2).

When certain lenses are attached to these cameras and the “Lens aberration correction” function on these cameras is set to “Enable” for Live View shooting, an error would occur.

Please set the “Lens aberration correction” function of the cameras to “Disable” when using SIGMA’s interchangeable lenses for CANON.

In addition, please also refer to other notice below, related to the usage of EOS mount SIGMA lenses on Canon cameras.
