Are new dream lenses coming for the RF mount? [CR1]

[Wilfried Flitser]

The studio lens: RF 50-150 f/2,8 L minimum focus 0,5m.

 

[wsmith96]

Mine would be a RF (or EF) 35-150 f/2.8. I would only need 1 lens for 90% of my pics.

 

[Uneternal]

RF 24-105 f1.2 L metalens (22mm length).

 

[Blue Zurich]

Oh a dream lens you say? Like the EF 50 1.4 ll we all (Adam S.) waited for endlessly?

Let's see if they will make one in RF form. tick tock (growing old)

I use the 24-105mm F4 L ISand the 16mm F2.8.
Very capable combination for traveling

I do not disagree but when traveling (walking) for birding I carry a D850 with 500 5.6PF in one hand and another in the other hand. This second camera used to be a 5DIV with 16-35 f/4L IS but it is a bulky combination as a concurrently second handheld camera. So I use 200D (=SL2) with EF-S10-18 and I also got a secondhand EF-S15-85. I would like to not have to also change lenses in that second camera....

Canon just need to get a move on fleshing out the line with the standard lenses, like a 24MM L and 35MM L etc.

Why not just use the RF 24-105 f/4 L? I own the RF 24-70 2.8 and didn't see much of a drop in quality each time I've used the RF 24-105, and the extra reach is really nice...

Yep, the RF 24-105 L is considerably better than the EF version, and as you say, not far off from the RF 24-70 L. Don't really see a need at all for an f/4 24-70. Just my opinion, though.

 

[danfaz]

Where is the RF 70-135mm F2L??

This!

 

[lnz]

At the risk of repeating myself, a 10-24 F/4 oh wait...

 

[Nemorino]

RF 100 L macro without focus shift!

I have used the RF 100 for about a month and still have not found any issues with focus shift. Of cause I don't shoot test charts but flying bees. Maybe that's my mistake.

 

[jam05]

Still waiting for those rumored tilt shift lenses.

Canon stated that the focus shift exhibited by the lens was a design trade-off with increasing the magnification to 1.4x. It’s definitely a real issue, not an Internet phenomenon.

Focus shift gets worse the closer your subject is to the MFD. It’s also aperture-dependent, and if you’re wide open or reasonably stopped down, it does not affect the image. I would guess that at typical flying bee working distances, you would not expect to have a problem with focus shift. It can be an issue in other used cases.

Still waiting for those rumored tilt shift lenses.

I guess you meant waiting and saving, since Nikon's TS 19mm costs $4000, if I'm not mistaken...
Canon's 14mm TSE could even be a bit ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) more expensive, i'm afraid !

 

[MartinVLC]

I would love to have a 20-70mm f2,8.
The 24-70 is fine for most situations, but often I find myself wanting a wider focal lense. It would be way more versatile in my opinion

For me the other way around, I would love to have a 35-105 f/2.8 more or less compact non-L non-IS as allways on lense, because the 70/75mm on full frame are often too short for me and 105 f/2.8 should also give better bokeh than 70 f/2.8.

 

[Traveler]

A compact fish eye sized like the RF 16mm. Please.
I’d also buy a compact ~15-35 no matter how crazy the aperture is as long as it’s lightweight for travels.

Yep, I can totally attest to this.

 

[tataylino]

a cheap constant aperture RF-S 17-50mm f4 IS STM lens would be great.

I have posted some examples in the insect thread:

Lovely shot, Alan.

Canon RF 50 1.4 L IS USM 1.200 € / $

Count me in if they give priority to small size, low weight and good bokeh over ultimate edge-to-edge sharpness.

 

[Skux]

I just want some basic small affordable primes I can pick up for day shooting. 24mm, 28mm, 40mm f/2.8. Not flashy, just fun.

Or, a 58mm f/1.4.
