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

[Canon Rumors Guy]

We all have dream lenses that we want Canon to make, most of which never will be. There is now a crazy rumor from Canon Watch about two such lenses that haven’t appeared on our RF mount roadmap.
The first rumored lens would be an RF-S 33mm f/1L USM, which is basically a 50mm lens for APS-C sensors. While the idea would be pretty desireable, Canon never made “L” EF-S lenses, and we’re not sure if that’s going to change with the RF-S mount.
The second lens is an RF 70-300mm f/2-4L IS USM. I don’t even know what to say about this rumor. I don’t think there would be a market for such a lens. We think that once you reach the pricepoint that this lens would sell for, variable aperture wouldn’t be well received. Who knows though, Canon can always do new and interesting things.
We don’t have a lot...

Only waiting for one lens, the RF 24-70mm f4.0L IS USM

 

[KKCFamilyman]

I would love an RF 24-120 F2.8 L and RF 120-300 2.8 L

 

[SnowMiku]

A lens I would like that would likely never happen is a consumer EF 100-400mm f/4-5.6 IS NanoUSM.

Roger Cicala’s post on Lensrentals.com is a great read. A dream sometimes is just a dream.

Why Manufacturers Make a Specific Camera Lens

There is a lot of online discussion about why a manufacturer made this lens when they so obviously needed to make that other lens. Or why this manufacturer’s design is better than that manufacturer’s magical solutions. So, I thought I’d share the second-hand information I have about the process...

Great read, thank you.

I’m going to submit a rumor about a 24-200mm f/2 Uber DO nano materials lens that is the size and weight of a 24-105/4. I think that’s actually a lens designed by HarryFilm, but still, if this post gets enough likes I bet Canon will leverage Harry’s free public GNU license and produce it. If they don’t, Sony will and I’ll switch.

Just bought Laowa 33 mm f 0.95…

I’ll be happy to upgrade, if canon would make the RF-s 33 mm F1.0 L …

Hopefully competition drives canon to make it..

 

[Troik]

Oh, if we're allowed to dream...
I really want to get the new RF 100-400, it's affordable and I could really use that extra reach, I just wish for a little more, so it could be an "always on"...sort of

a 50-500mm F/8 that's a bit bigger for 999.- maybe? Well, we were allowed to dream

 

[Jasonmc89]

I’ve said it before (many times) and I’ll say it again..

RF 500mm f5.6 DO!!!!!!!!!

(Like Nikons 500mm f5.6 pf)

 

[Felix]

Canon RF 50 1.4 L IS USM 1.200 € / $

 

[Swurre]

The Canon RF 1mm-1000mm f/1L IS USM Macro Tilt-Shift Pancake would be epic

 

[unfocused]

While an f2-4 70-300mm lens is not going to happen, I can very much see an f4 70-300 mm zoom to replace both the 70-300 L zoom and the 300mm f4.

I second that, if they would also make a 200-500 F4 D0 with built in 1.4 teleconverter.

My (somewhat) realistic dream lenses: RF 16-50mm F4L IS USM, RF 18-70mm F4-6.3 IS USM (not RF-S!), RF-S 15-85mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM, RF 24mm F2 STM pancake (aka "just like a smartphone camera, except a lot better"), RF 135mm F2 IS USM.

 

[SebastiaoSal]

Where is the RF 70-135mm F2L??

 

[neurorx]

Where is the RF 70-135mm F2L??

That would be awesome. I would probably choose that over the 135 1.4 if that were to ever (please soon!) be released.

 

[SnowMiku]

Another realistic lens Canon should make that would sell is an RF-S 15-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS.

 

[peters]

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

No dream lens needed, just a decent 135 prime on the faster side with creamy bokeh.
