Patent: Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L USM
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Some similarity with the EF-S 32: The light travels mostly through glass! Lots of thick lenses and a large number of elements - T1.8?

RF 35mm, 300mm and high MPIX camera will be next year's financial setback. At least better than the stock market crash last year. 
I agree with the 28mm. I have the Sigma art 28mm f/1.4 and it is my most used indoor lens. I would love a RF 28L in 1.2 or 1.4.

OMGoodness! Another f/1.2!
Dream: RF 35mm f/1.2L, RF 50mm f/1.2L, RF 85mm f/1.2L, RF 28-70mm f/2L, RF 70-135mm f/2L, RF 135mm f/1.8L, RF 600mm f/4L
Reality? Ugh!!!$$$
Throw in a RF 24mm f/1.2L and make it an epic nightmare of a dream.

I'm excited for this lens despite now having no plans to buy it. I'm covered for glass unless the work I do changes.
What I really can't wait to see is a comparison between this lens (should Canon release it) and Sigma's $1500 version, since that's the only autofocus lens on the market that can compete with it, despite Sigma not offering it in an RF mount, yet.

Nah, that's the f/1.0 trilogy coming in 2028. Save your pennies
Indeed. Or maybe "The Ones" when that group comes out.
I thought about "The Clean Dozens" as a play on 1.2 and "The Dirty Dozen" but...sigh...it's a bit of a reach.

We'll, isn't the Sigma f/1.4? Canon's EF 35mm f/1.4L II was a fantastic lens I owned. Sony just released a 50mm f/1.2. Canon setting a new standard, I guess.

It's an interesting conundrum, I'm tempted by this lens, but I actually love the RF 35mm f1.8 so much as a travel/macro/lightweight lens that I haven't used my 35mm f/1.4L II in over a year and will probably sell it to put towards an R3. I'm not sure if I see a future where I have both the F/1.2 and the F/1.8, but perhaps Canon will find a way to change my mind.
Probably safe to assume this will probably end up around $2000-2200, like the RF 50 did.

Nah, there's an f/1.2, now, and it's not even enormously expensive (lower MSRP than the f/1.4 L II, in fact). It was released to almost no fanfare, which makes me wonder how much even photography enthusiasts care about the difference between f/1.4 and f/1.2 for a wide angle prime

Same. It's absolutely a luxury lens more than something I personally need.
If I had been able to shoot weddings in 2020, I would have enjoyed having it because the bokeh is much smoother than Sigma's 35/1.4, which often makes harsh patterns of grass/trees in outdoor portraits, wide-open.
