Two Never Before Seen Lenses Coming from Canon This Year

[BlancRay]

Canon’s latest announcements were the EOS R6 V and RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ. For the most part they have been well received by the reviewer world with the usual complaints about Canon stuff, but all in all, it’s nice to see positivity. We still have a while to wait before both begin shipping, […]

Desperately no sign of a possible macro lens...

The R8 II is going to be interesting, I'd actually prefer the older 24MP sensor over the new 32.5MP sensor, the lower the MP the faster the post processing, better low light performance and smaller file size. A few weeks ago the R6 II was around $700 AUD more then the R8. The R8 II is going to have to sit between them price wise or maybe they will discontinue the R6 II when the R8 II gets released? I think now is a good time to get an R6 II if you want one.

RF 20-70 + 14 TS-E

20-70 just after the 20-50? That's the least likely.

My old Canon heart breaks every time every time I think about how they refused to re-release this. What a slap in the face. I was hoping for a turnaround in attitude with canon crop.. . Boring bodies with ancient sensor iq .. no thank you.

My M gear is like gold to me.

I think the Canon APS-C RF bodies are much better than the EF-S equivalents. No more unreliable and slow AF with 9 focus points, proper video specs (uncropped 4K), etc. But they are still somewhat boring. But Canon is barely doing the essential in the lenses department. Lucky we have Sigma with some really cool lenses.

Anything on the photography only side of things will be amazing as far as I am concerned. I understand the economy of scales for the hybrid way that photography is moving, but nah, I don't like video.

I also wish they kept the 24MP sensor and update other things, like: better EVF, bigger battery, joystick, control wheel, etc. Sensor resolution is a good differentiator.

I hope one of those two mentioned lenses will be in line with the spirit of the RF 45mm f/1.2, only longer, while similarly reasonably priced.

Since the 45mm has so poor IQ, at least without correction (and the corners even if corrected) - I really hope for a jump in price for better optical performance Saw Photo Feaver comparison on the 45mm vs 50 f1.8 about a week ago - and there was no competition. The RF 50 f1.8 had way better performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98OlSjp7Lbg

It sure would be nice if Canon would update the RF 100-500 f/4.5-7.1 being that it came out in September 2020. And big disappointment about the R7 Mark II, but the good news is I'm not out $2000-ish bucks!! If it has the same setbacks at the 7D MII, then it won't be released until the end of 2027.

Yes, because RF100-500 is such a bad lens that needs to be updated!

 

[AlanF]

Yes, because RF100-500 is such a bad lens that needs to be updated!

Reminds me that mine is now over 5 years old. It's an absolute cracker of a lens, really sharp and lightning fast AF in a relatively light package.

20-70 just after the 20-50? That's the least likely.

Not so sure, as a replacement for the RF 24-70.

Not so sure, as a replacement for the RF 24-70.

Yes, I can see an RF 20-70/2.8L coming out as a 'replacement' for the 24-70/2.8 (though maybe they drop the price of the latter and keep it in the lineup).

 

[Djiran]

Wouldn't it be logic for canon to release with the R8 MkII a 70-200mm like f/2.8 stm lens ? We know that the missing piece of the 2.8 stm trinity and it's kind of the same targeted costumers.

The 1.2’s, while nearly perfect optically, are starting to feel a little long in the tooth. Both are too fat. This is especially noticeable when compared to shooting with the newer designed 135mm 1.8L. Mark two versions of these two classics that preserve the near perfect optics but which focused internally and were even just a little skinnier would convince me to replace my 50 and finally jump to buying the 85. And where is a hi-res body to take advantage of all that lens sharpness and compete with Sony?

A 14 or 15mm TS-E would be nice. Even better if it were a Zoom 14-24mm TS-E. I'm sure I'll be waiting.
I assume there will be more Роwеr Zооm Аdарtеrѕ compatible lens.
No good to a photographer unless shooting remotely.
Its leaves alot of little holes in the lens and contacts exposed to the elements. I assume its all well sealed but the lens looks more vulnerable.
I'm surprised they can't build it into the lens yet (I'm sure some day they will).
I'm ensure eventually I'll be able to send my Canon droid out to take photos with my Canon camera with a 14-300mm TS-E. It will select what photos to take autonomously.

Yes, this 14-24 TS-E zoom would be a sensation!
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme quick!
