At least three new lenses to be announced ahead of CP+

[Canon Rumors Guy]

We have been told that Canon will announce at least three new lenses ahead of the CP+ Photo & Imaging Show in Yokohama, Japan which takes place between February 22 – February 25, 2024. We were not told what lenses to expect, but that a niche part of the market would be addressed. Canon has

Surely it will be the 35L this time

On a more serious note, the 200-500 might be one of them.

It would make sense to make a "development announcement" for the RF 200-500mm because Canon could tie it with the DA for the R1.

Has Canon ever made a development announcement for a lens?

There was one for the 300/400/500/600 MkII lenses.

A niche lens, for sure.

Finger crossed for some form of 200 f2 successor, or an innovative tilt shift.

A niche lens, for sure.

$ 5000 usd price tag and it is niche for sure Maybe Canon surprises everyone and makes 35mm f 1.0 L halo lens.

Around the 3:40 timestamp Drew showcases what a few of us here on CR have been talking about: using DPAF to derive a depth map and use that to do 3D reconstruction of the scene. I hope this gets wider support (Adobe, DxO) so we can have better masking and fake bokeh.

Good catch.

DPRaw is useless, but only for now I believe.

I have been shooting in DPRaw mode since it became available (except when I need fps) beacuse I am sure one day it will help to get noticeably better images. with AI or whatever software.

Then I can reprocess my most loved images. what I shoot only happens once. Youbhave tobthink long term when you shoot for a long term project.

There is the option to get twice the data in a raw, I'd be crazy not to use it, even if it has been useless for now. That actually might be a reason to get the R1 over the R5 II, as it should maitain bugfer much better with 200 MB raws ..

If we get 4 times bigger raws with the QDAF sensor, I'll take them too.

To my knowledge I do not recall Canon making any development announcements for the RF lenses.

I would use the crap out of that

RF Fisheye this time for Olympics!

I agree, RF Fisheye for Olympics. Skateboarding coming again, and Horigome Yuto previous gold medalist shoots all the time with Canon explorer of light Atiba Jefferson.

The EF 200-400 had one so if there are any lenses that would warrant one the 200-500 would probably be one of them.

A niche lens, for sure.

What do you mean?!?! that lens will be a staple for everyone

But I am steeling myself for disappointment
