You miss the point here. Mat boxes, filters, follow focus etc of uniform size make production kits convenient. To many in the real world this is very important.

I understand, but you just cannot squeeze an RF 105mm f/1,4 into a standard filter size, if vignetting suffers from it.
Anyway, even for other lenses, I still believe optical quality should always be the priority, and not filter size.

Not that I want it but, hey, every new pro lens is welcome.
In the meantime I'm really hoping for a 28/1.4 VCM. For me 24mm is already a bit "unnaturally" wide. If I want something a bit wide (mostly for street). 28mm is the best.

Or, it would be nice if Canon find the time to design and deliver a........but I understand they may have other priorities

Why care about stupid filter size when buying such expensive lenses?
Compromising optical quality in order to save a few euros/$ on filters?
This lens has to be as good as the 135mm. This is what matters!
And yes, I know, many (!!!) American AMG customers try to save a few bucks buy regular fuel for their expensive 6 or 8 cylinder coupes. Plain stupid!
Just like buying an R1 and the CF Express cards from ali express...

All of the VCM primes have a 67mm filter thread. Keeping those dimensions with a 105/1.4 is not possible, it would need at least a 77mm filter thread. A 105/1.7 or 135/2.2 could work though.

True. FWIW the Sigma 105/1.4 has a filter size of 105 mm

Are you using a tripod, resting on a hide shelf or are you hand holding?

At 90% I use a tripod and 10% monopod

105/1,55 would work exactly. Canon marketing would make it a f1.4 lens.

I own the 14mm, 20mm, 50mm, and 85mm from the series

See full article...

That would be my absolute dream line-up for VCM lenses!

I currently own the 50mm and I absolutely love it!

Nope - many more holes to fill in the lineup before we "need" a mk II version of lenses that work great

TS 14mm, 35 f/1,2, 180 + 50 macro, 20-70 f/2, 400 f/2,8 and so on. Please Canon, no more STMs, but more, far more L lenses !

I would love to see a 135/1.4, who cares about filter threads....?

That would make more of a perfect lense than a 105, 105 is too close to 85, so people will be buying the one or the other, where 135 appeal both to people who have an 85 and people who don't....

I am just saying that such a lens cannot be the same size as the VCM lenses so far. That's what the article implied to me the way I read it:

if Canon wants to keep the lens around the same size as the other VCM prime lenses, which is one of the key design innovations for this series.

We can't see Canon releasing a smaller and faster 135mm lens.

it will be the final lens in the VCM series of L-series prime lenses

the lenses are the perfect size for fast-autofocusing L prime lenses.

That said a f/1.4 lens from Canon with >100mm focal length would be great.

What's the combo like for birds in flight?

docsmith · Jul 3, 2026

I just bought the RF 135 f/1.8 on the current refurbished sale.

So, you know, paving the way for Canon to announce something like this....or the 50-150 (or 135) f/2 I've wanted.
