Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS & Three More Lenses Coming at the End of August [CR2]

[Canon Rumors]

<p>To further clarify the <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/unreleased-canon-gear-has-appeared-for-certification/">certification post from yesterday</a>, we have been told what to expect announcement wise from Canon at the end of August.</p>
<p>Firstly, the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS is scheduled to be announced at this time. We do not have any specifications or pricing at this time.</p>
<p>Secondly, “<a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/unreleased-canon-gear-has-appeared-for-certification/">interchangeale lens 2</a>” will actually be three different lenses. We’re working on getting the focal length of the lenses. It doesn’t feel that they’ll be L series lenses and we’re not sure if they’re EF-M, EF-S or EF at this time.</p>

Thank you for putting so much effort in this site.
But I would not be surprised if the new lens (2) are actually the current ef-m 15-45, 55-200 and 18-150 in white color.
The new Eos M20 will come in different colors as well. I just hope it will have a hotshot like the first Eos M classic.
2017 has been a cheap year for me until now, but I could use a new compact camera.

Finally! They're going to release the Canon EF-M 12mm f/2, EF-M 32mm f/2 and the EF-M 55mm f/2.8 IS macro

PS: The flash will be a 270 EX lll-RT with master/slave capability 8)

definitely not "L" with them being made in Malaysia.

PS my EF-M 18-150mm is made in Malaysia, not sure about any of the new EF-S lenses. the new 18-55 4-5.6 was made in Taiwan as were my other EF-M's.

Odds are it will be a cheaper consumer lens though.

Hoping atleast one of those lenses is replacement for EF 50mm Macro or EF 180mm macro. I really cannot justify 1699$ price tag of Sigma 180mm macro even though it is the best 180mm right on market.

Personally, I find the 85mm 1.2L II one of the most difficult lenses to hold without shake. It's the shape which makes my hold awkward and balance different than all other lenses.

I hope the shape of the 85 1.4 is a little longer, maybe not so "fat." Certainly IS will be a huge help, but even more so if the ergonomics are better.

Did I miss the memo showing what the new lens actually looks like?

I hope you are correct, but I consider it a long shot.

Long indeed. You'll have to forgive me, I smoked a little too much crack before writing that reply...

Funny how everyone has already given up on the 50/1.4

I wish for a nextgen 70-200/4 as well as an EF-M version of it.

What's wrong with current 70-200/4? Both non-IS and IS are very sharp and especially IS version is basically sharp as it gets. Their pricing is also not probihitive, considering they're L lenses with amazing build and optical quality. Also EF-M version does not make much sense as dimensions would be very similar to a current lens with EF/EF-M adapter. You can't cheat physics

I am still hoping to see the EF-S 30 f/1.8 and EF-M 35 f/2 lenses.

Indeed. Canon could get inspired at Fuji and along 22/2 lens, there could be 31/2 and 53/2 lenses as well. Canocron lenses

YES!! This sounds like good ol Canon boldness. But where is a 28mm 1.4L BR!! That is a lens I'm dying to get.
I'm guessing the 3 others will be M mount for sure.

• EF 50mm f/1.4 IS USM
  
  
• EF 50mm f/1.4 USM II

- A

And why not EF 50mm f/1.4 IS USM DO Macro 1.4TC while we're at it :-D

Jokes aside it would be really nice to get a combo 50/1.4 IS and 85/1.4 IS by the end of this year.

It's time for a new EF-m! New prime please not a new color.

I wasn't joking.

My 50mm f/1.4 USM just died, and I'm buying a new one. Would have bought a 50mm f/1.4 IS USM, if Canon actually made one.

Thanks. I guess I did see this and thought it was an "artist's rendition." Looks better balanced to me.

Also, AHSanford, refresh my memory--would you accept a 50mm 1.2L if it was as quick and otherwise practical as, say, the 35mm 1.4? I guess that extra, what, 1/3 f/stop, adds too much weight and cost?

Can't remember why you seem to oppose 1.2.

Cheers!
