Canon is announcing two lenses and a limited edition PowerShot camera tonight. The time of the announcement is a bit odd at 11:00PM EST (New York). You can do the math for your timezone.

I also have a correction on pricing for the RF 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5L STM Fisheye, it is going to be $1899 USD and not $1599 like I have reported. My source appologizes a thousand times over. These things happen, all of the Euro pricing is good. I have corrected the original post.

I guess I should have noticed the odd descrepency between the € and $ pricing. So here is a picture of the upcoming RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L STM Fisheye Zoom

The “Development Announcement” of the EOS R3 Mark II?

I'd be shocked, I just can't see the point of such a camera unless it's a complete departure from the current EOS R3. I can only remember two development announcements that were ever known beforehand, and those were the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM 1.4x and EOS R1. I think the R1 had more to do with the EOS R5 Mark II announcement and a lot of photographers already had the camera.

Some people have pointed out that these announcements don't fit with the upcoming Olympic games, as Canon tends to announce gear that is more focused on sports, but maybe that won't happen until the World Cup in June.

  1. The 14 mm f1.4 and this lens are two interesting lenses, I do not anticipate purchasing either. I am interested to see what Canon releases in telephoto prime / zoom lenses.

  2. This coming week, Canon is going to be announcing two new lenses. The RF 14mm f1.4L VCM and the RF 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5 Fisheye zoom. The L prime we've known about for a while, but the new fisheye zoom is news to us. Surprises are a good thing. RF 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5 Fisheye Zoom During the days […]

    Canon will release just about any random lens before coming up with a single RF tilt-shift lens.

    It's been EIGHT years since the launch of the first R camera and there are still zero Canon tilt-shift lenses.

    We now have
    • Canon RF 10–20mm f/4L IS STM
    • Canon RF 14–35mm f/4L IS USM
    • Canon RF 15–35mm f/2.8L IS USM
    • Canon RF 15–30mm f/4.5–6.3 IS STM
    • Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM

    Is there really a dire need and huge demand for 2 more ultra-wide angle lenese?

  3. Please stop posting blatantly photoshopped photos of nonexistent lenses. That lens is obviously an EF lens that has RF photoshopped onto it. This undermines your credibility and insults our intelligence. If you have an actual photo of the product, then by all means post it but don't try to invent physical product with speculation.

    And the 16-28mm F2.8 STM

  6. I’m sure Canon knows how many TS-E lenses they sold, compared to the various ultrawide EF lenses.
    I just purchased the EF 8-15 F4L for scuba, but would have been nice to know they would be releasing this now.

    Same. The 14mm is much needed but Canon needs more telephoto options.
