What Canon-branded RF lenses do you want to see in 2023?

According to this Canon rumour the CEO of Canon JP promised to release 8 new lenses annually for the next 4 years.

If this is true what are the top 8 RF lenses do you want to see by this time next year?

1:1 tilt-shift macro. With 3-point motorized tilt AF.

Maybe I even could afford one.

An MP-E 65 type of lens with motorized tilt would be very interesting to me. Especially if you can draw a line on the EVF to pick the axis/plane and have the DPAF magic do its thing to set the tilt. You would need a lot of tilt for macro distances, though.

RF 24mm f1.4 L

 

[unfocused]

150-600 F5.6-7.1 Zoom. Never going to happen but I can dream.

 

[john1970]

I would like to see a 35 mm f1.2 and a 500 mm f4-f5 DO lenses.

 

[HeavyPiper]

I would like to see an RE 24-70mm f4 version of the EF.

 

[danfaz]

Just for kicks, a 100 or 105mm f/1.4.

150-600 F5.6-7.1 Zoom. Never going to happen but I can dream.

Slower 150-600 for lighter weight?

 

[Maximilian]

EOS RP II (FF, same or smaller size)

I know, you were asking for lenses. But I would need a cam before I‘ll get a lens
Actual offering doesn‘t fit my idea of price or spec list.
Apart from that I would find all lenses I‘d like to buy in the existing offering.

150-600 F5.6-7.1 Zoom. Never going to happen but I can dream.

Match Sony and make it 5.6-6.3 and it will be a winner. Four friends have the S brand 200-600 and love them

I would like to see some affordable (under €500) EF-S lenses: 22mm, 32 and 50mm primes, a 17-250mm superzoom, and a 10-18mm wide-angle zoom.

 

[JohanCruyff]

I have always liked 35mm better than 50mm ‎primes, but recently I started to wonder whether this depends on having owned "basic" 50mm (EF and RF STM) and "decent" 35mm (EF F/2 IS and RF F/1.8 Macro).

I suggest Canon to allow me to make a test by releasing a "decent" RF 50mm F/1.4 (non L, IS or not, but I'd like USM more than STM).

I'd rather avoid third party lenses (like Sigma 50mm F/1.4 Art), the RF 50mm F/1.2 is much more than I need, and I'm not sure I'm a EF 50mm F/1.2 guy.

I doubt a rehoused EF-M32mm f/1.4 for RF-S will be significantly under €500, I expect a rehoused EF-M22mm f/2 to be €300-€350. Let's keep hoping Sigma can make a deal with Canon and produce RF-S versions of their DC DN lenses.

I know for sure that the Web needs to know that I suddenly found a nice offer (400 Eur) on a used Sigma 50mm F/1.4 Art , bought it and my R6 is happy with my first third party lens.

 

[LovePhotography]

A Canon RF 24-240mm f/4 L. Or, even a Canon RF 24-240mm f/2.8 L!
If it was great in the middle 2/3rd of the frame, I would absolutely wear that sucker out.
I get tired of changing big heavy $2000+ lens on the fly, a process that need 3 hands, when I only have 2 hands.

 

[chrysoberyl]

RF 24mm f1.2 L with little coma.

 

[risto0]

RF 400-600mm F4 L IS with 1.4x built-in.

I hate to burst everyone’s bubbles but based on the rumours we have, 2023 is pretty much spoken for.
We should be getting a super tele, 3x wide angle primes, 3x RF-s lenses and the latest rumour is an ultra wide zoom.

I personally am hoping for a 35mm and a 14mm this year.
