Two New Lenses, Including an RF 85mm f/1.4L VCM Coming September 9

[Canon Rumors]

On Septemb er 9, Canon will be announcing the replacement of the EOS R5 C with the launch of the Cinema EOS C50. Canon will also be announcing two new lenses that will pair well with the Cinema EOS camera. Canon RF 85mm f/1.4L VCM In July we reported that an 85mm lens would be […]

A 11-55mm f2.0 would pair so well with a 50-150 f2.0 like the Sony GM one but I think I'm just dreaming... It would most probably be a f2.8 or f2.8-4.0

 

[Timppa]

I secretly hope that 11-55 will be aps-c and not FF. 2.8 all the way

 

[Besisika]

Finally a good news. I like VCM, and 85mm would be nice to have. Hopefully not too expensive.
I was excited about the C50, but now less and less. Seems to me like an R6c. I hope to be in the wrong.

No EVF = not buying.

Knowing Canon it will probably be a 11-55 f7.1-11

Consider putting the C50 info in a separate post! Thanks

I keep reading “replacement” for the R5C but don’t think the article author understands what replacement means.

How can a 4K camera (even from a 6K sensor) that may not shoot photos replace a hybrid 8K hybrid camera.

That’s like saying the C80 is a replacement for the R5C. They are very different things.

I shoot 8K immersive 180 footage for Vision Pro with my R5C , can I buy this replacement camera and do the same?

Doesn’t seem like it. So how is it a replacement ?

Yes! Finally the 85mm F1.4 L VCM is coming! Now I have to decide whether I'll go for the 50mm or the 85mm. Great choices Probably 50mm because I have the 85mm F2 and it works well and only shows weaknesses in low light. If possible, I might swap it at one point.

The VCM line-up seems complete, except for the glaring hole that is the 28mm F1.4. Maybe, just maybe, they'll also be able to add a 100mm F1.4. I don´t believe a 135mm F1.4 would fit the size of the VCM lenses.

I´m guessing the 11-55mm will have a variable aperture. If size and weight isn't above the RF 14-35mm it could be an intriguing option for some. Although I'd like the added range, I am not swapping my RF 14-35mm F4.

I will autobuy the 85 and still keep the 50!

My theory has always been, that the primary reason for Canon to make the R5C, was because they needed a portable/compact and "affordable" 8K videocamera for their VR180 lenses/ecosystem (where 8K/highres is important). So yes, I totally agree. C50 doesn't sound like an R5C replacement from what we have heard so far.

Since we're filling gaps, why not a 65 f/1.4 to fill the gap between 50 and 85? Also, a 100 f/1.4 would have to have a 71mm front element minimum. All the rest of the VCM lenses use 67mm filters.

I started with the wide ones and very happy with them. Now aiming for the 85. I had similar dilemma with the 35. I had the F1.8 and had to think twice on the VCM. If you are a fast shooter like me, get VCM.

Can the R5c be discontinued while the dual fisheye is still being sold?

I think that would be an impressive lens indeed. Personally, I don't see this being a FF lens with this kind of zoom range. An 11mm lens on full-frame is still pretty exotic. The EF 11-24 and RF 10-20mm f/4 zooms are incredible, but stretching out beyond 24mm seems unlikely if they want to cover a full-frame image circle.

Sounds great, but my funding won´t allow me to purchase both this year because instead of two there'll be three of us by the end of the year

Haha, sounds great! At least, 65mm would be something absolutely new and a creative choice. How about a 43mm to mimic the human eye and "close the gap" between 35 and 50mm?

I also own the 35mm F1.8. I usually use it for landscapes or as a walk around lens and it performs well. Of course, I am not shooting "fast" with it. I´d love to add a fast prime though for family shots/ everyday play and so on and so forth. I'll probably start with the 50mm F1.4 VCM. I rented it recently and I absolutely loved it (not the price tag in Germany though). The 50mm F1.2 is great too, but don´t usually shoot f1.2 and the weight concerns me. VCM lenses are a great compromise for me.
