    Nifty Fifty and/or a Pancake lens are coming to the RF mount in 2020 [CR3]

    I'm not an expert but I thought that the pancake design works best if the focal length is approximately the flange distance of the mount. Thus we have a 40mm f/2.8 for the 44mm EF/EF-S mount, and a 22mm f/2 for the 18mm EF-M mount. Given that the RF mount is 20mm, can we assume that a pancake...

    70-200 f/2.8 IS II - Difference between 2012 and 2014?

    I just purchased this lens and the ten digit serial number starts with "90" meaning I think that it was manufactured in May 2012 (i.e. two years ago). I noticed the old-style side-pinch lens cap (versus the new center-pinch style) when opening the box in the store but I didn't clue in that this...
