A Never Before Seen Lens Coming From Canon

[Canon Rumors]

We have been told by a very reliable source that Canon is scheduled to announce a "Never-before-seen zoom lens from Canon" The lens in question is not of the "big white" variety, but more a "general" use lens. We may have a slightly different idea of what a general use lens is, but I think it sits somewhere in the 16-135mm focal range

This one puzzles me a bit. Canon have made some strange choices in lenses for me over recent years. The 24-70 F2.8L for me is a not broke, don't fix it. So a lens floating around this range even if f2.0 is not an attractive proposition for me. 24-105 not enough at telephoto end, why would I want 28mm at the wide end? So who is this lens for? Not one for me Canon, sorrry.

RF 24-70 f/2: Yes
RF 14 TSE: Yes
RF 50-135: Yes
RF 180 macro L IS: Yes
Please Canon, don't let us wait too long!

I'd like to see the 85-135mm that was once rumoured.

Seems to be a bug, I have the same issue.

Maybe some innovative macro lens?

 

[EricN]

It said "zoom." As far as I know there has been no zoom that was 1:1 macro. Otherwise, a 16 - 35 f2 or similar?

 

[Chig]

How about a macro zoom: 50-200mm f/4 L IS Macro with 1:1 magnification?

Glad to hear it is not one of the big whites. Unless this is a 1:1 macro telephoto lens I don't think I will be very excited. I have enough lenses that cover that particular range.

It'll probably end up being some constant f/11 lens or something

a pinhole super tele
Edit : a pinhole super tele zoom!

 

[Ozarker]

It's finally coming! It's finally coming!

Gimme quick!

 

[Del Paso]

It's finally coming! It's finally coming!

Right! The world's only lens with a touch-bar!

That would be phenomenal lens and a lens I would definitely purchase.

Wishing a 20-60mm f2

 

[navastronia]

I'd gladly take a 24-70/2 that's lighter than the 28-70/2.

I imagine most of us would, but whether or not that's possible, who knows. I suspect the "choice" for Canon will be a 24-70 that's about the same weight or a 28-70 that's about as light as Sony's version.

I guess it depends on how much this hypothetical 24-70 f/2 will be allowed by Canon to cost. The use of extremely expensive glass could lower weight and increase compactness. But would we be ready to pay the price?
Anyway, at present time, we are only speaking of a rumor...

My hypothetical 24-70 f2 is defective. the focal length is stuck at 35 and the aperture goes all the way to 1.2.
