Filter thread for the twin light has gone down from 67mm on MR-14ex II to 58mm. I hope the UI and button layout will be similar to 600 series of lights(also MR-14ex II).
Hardly a surprise - this is an update to the MT-24 EX, and the same size as it is (58mm)

The insides will have changed and maybe the modelling lamps replaced with LEDs, but essentially to an update to the rather old (but still very useful) MT-24

I use one on the TS-E90 and MP-E-65 where it's just fine - I'm finding it difficult to see situations where any updated features of flash functionality would be something to upgrade for - this is a flash I use at manual settings most of the time, maybe with a slave for background.

Anyone really push the MT-24 and hit limits which could be improved?

Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM
Scheduled release date: late November 2017
Mass store sales price (tax included): 194,400 yen

So if I'm not mistaken, the 35mm f/1.4L II was 275,000 yen, right? So this is going to be relatively cheaper than even the 35 f/1.4L II?

If Canon pulls off anything around 1300-1500, this lens will definitely be on my Christmas self-wishlist. If it's higher, I'll wait to see full IQ results, but this looks like a sweet lens.

If the 85mm gets a direct conversion from Japanese Yen to US Dollars we're looking at about $1,800.

I was under the impression that Canon USA normally subsidizes lens prices in the U.S., or am I mistaken? Not entirely familiar with their pricing.

Prices in each country (or area) depends on many factors - import duties, sale taxes, and even how much can be charged before customers stop buying a given good, considering competitors prices. Usually, US prices are lower compared to European ones.

The recent EU-Japan deal could also bring a reduction in these goods prices - but let see how much will reach customers....

You are mistaken. Canon USA is a subsidiary of Canon, they pay for cameras, lenses, printers, etc in Yen and set USA prices to make a nice profit. Their prices include the costs of transportation, warehousing, advertising, service and probably more. The actual cost of a item that the factory charges is going to be much less than the selling price. Each Canon subsidiary operates in the same manner, and sets prices in their region based on their costs.

Thanks! That is useful (good-to-know) info.

The only minor update that I would like to see is the ability to use 1/3 increments like the 580 and 600 series. I've ran into situations where 1/4 on each head is too little, while 1/2 is too much. I can compensate for this with shutter speed and all that, but the issue is if you want to fire off some rapid shots. 1/2 on each head has a little slower of a refresh speed.

Like I said, minor update, but I would find it useful. The RT will be nice for background fill. I've found that a lot of times I'll be using a 270EXII that won't fire in bright sunlight as a slave.

Kit: Body, 15-45mm lens kit, double zoom kit, double lens kit

The double zoom kit is pretty obvious (15-45 and 11-22 right?). But what does the "double lens kit" means? To me the 22+28 combo seems too weird. So will it be something like 22 and a brand new EF-M 50mm f/2? ;D

OK, back to reality. What I really wanted to ask: are there some hints WHEN the announcement will be? I plan to buy 18-150mm this week as a local shop have discounts till friday. But I wouldn't want to buy it and then see Canon announcing some new EF-M lens (however unlikely that is).

wouldnt it cause vignetting on 180mm Macro? Also in my experience carrying the whole RRS flash bracket in field is not very convenient so most people using longer lenses might just stick with stock mounting bracket from Canon. I tried the gen 1 twin lights in it was very difficult to diffuse properly to get soft light with subjects larger than some small frogs. With MP-E on the other hand its extremely useful in field.

Sure it would, but it was never made for such big lenses

There is a 58mm adapter ring that lets the MT24 clamp on the front of the tse90

I use the MT24 a lot - diffusion is no problem with a couple of diffusers I picked up from eBay for not a lot - they replaced some I'd made from white plastic slide box lids

Here they are on the MT24 heads (attached to some flexi mounts)

One note though - I rarely take this kit outside, my paying macro work doesn't run to insects/spiders/fungi/flowers i.e. the staples of what a lot of people call 'Macro' ;-)

Also, here's the Laowa flash unit with soft boxes - Karen loves this on the 100D for her jewellery work

With a direct conversion the forum was basically right on the 85L price. Most of us put it comfortably in the $1500-2000 range. Looks like we were right.

But those tilt-shift prices are... wow. Those things had better split atoms at those prices.
