Are these the 7 RF lenses Canon will be announcing in 2020? [CR1]

I want a 135mm f/2L prime...
If the 70-135mm f/2 is gonna be as heavy as the 28-70 f/2 I am not interested.

Seems a little boring, given that Canon promised new and inventive lenses along with the R system.

The difference between f/2.8 and f/2 at 135mm isn't massive, and so that lens seems a little fringe.

Why no 17-55mm f/2.8? Why no telephoto lenses faster than f/7.1? Why no L primes smaller than their EF counterparts?

Did we really need a junky 24-105?

What???

The diff between f/2.8 and f/2 is ONE STOP.
What is ONE STOP? -> 100% more light (2 X) !

Time to hit the gym and pump those guns up.

 

[slclick]

You are kidding right?
Difference of 10mm vs 16mm is massive. Clearly, 10 is a rather specialized focal length.

Not if that type of shooting isn't your gig. I don't have the need to own every mm of focal length, just what I like and utilize. No I'm not kidding. It will be wonderful for others no doubt.

Ugh, Canon is making way too many lenses I want. I've been desperately hoping that a 35mm f1.2L was coming this year to compliment my new RF 85mm 1.2L so I hope it's true! I have my fingers crossed for a 135mm f1.4L in 2021 and maybe an ultrawide f1.2 prime as well

The Canon RF 70-135mm f/2L USM sounds intriguing!

 

[Deleted member 68328]

No IS for the Canon RF 70-135mm f/2L USM? Seems strange...

LOL, I hope you were joking when you wrote 17-55mm...

 

[jansberg]

Keeping fingers crossed for cheapish 50mm and 85mm - and hoping for a 100mm f/2..
My ideal prime combo is a 50mm and a 100mm

 

[unfocused]

...it would be a nice gesture to have the new big sports camera out with a new big shiny white...

What new big sports camera are you referring to? A 1 series R is not likely to appear before 2021.

Not strange at all: This lens is already MASSIVE without IS. With IS, this would be practically infeasible ...

 

[Rule556]

No pancake.

I'm into the 10-24mm f/4 though. I love playing with wide angles.

 

[BillB]

Indeed, but my concern is more that there's nothing on this list that will be cheap enough for some people, including those on this forum, who would like to move into the R ecosystem without spending a lot of money. IS drives up the cost, as I'm sure we all know, and I don't know how valuable it is in a 50mm 1.8 design that should, but is not guaranteed to, come in under $150.

My guess is that the 50 f1.8 and the 85mm f1.8 will be priced about the same as the 35 f1.8. The least expensive lens in the bunch will likely be the 24-105 f4-f7.1

With the new bodies coming out with IBIS... IS missing isn't a big deal anyway.

 

[TMHKR]

I know that the R5 is hot stuff right now, but where's the dirt-cheap lens collection for the RP? It would make masses finally move to full frame mirrorless. And yes, I speak about RF lenses, not EF + adapter.

 

[rontele7]

LOL, I hope you were joking when you wrote 17-55mm...

Why? EF 24-105 with Speedbooster = 18-80 f/2.8 with IS. You're telling me Canon can't do a 17-55 because....?

 

[rontele7]

19 mm difference in bokeh ball sizes is quite massive, I'd say.

Literally 0 people on earth can even imagine what "19mm in bokeh ball sizes" even means. That's the most pixel peeping comment I've ever read on the internet.

 

[rontele7]

What???

The diff between f/2.8 and f/2 is ONE STOP.
What is ONE STOP? -> 100% more light (2 X) !

What percentage of the time is a 70-200mm f/2.8 too dark? 1%? Maybe 3% on a really bad shoot?

 

[timmy_650]

I hope they sneak a wide angle cheap zoom in there. Something to make the RP more appealing to the masses. A 16-35 f2.8-4 for $400-$500 or something close to those numbers.
