Canon Introduces Three New Lenses, Enhancing Still Photography and Video Production for Any Skill Level

[Canon Rumors Guy]

MELVILLE, NY, November 2, 2023 – Photographers aiming to get a powerful, ultra-wide angle shot, or looking for a superb zoom range, can improve their images with three new lenses announced today by Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions. The RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM, the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z, and the

I’m looking forward to receiving my 24-105/2.8 in December.

The times, they are a-changin’. White, non-L lenses with weather sealing? Hoods included with inexpensive, non-L lenses? Yes and yes.

Manual aperture ring on the 24-105 is cool. It's listed as "for video use", but I wonder if it could also be used for photography?

And the silver ring on the 200-800, instead of the red ring, is cool. I wonder how many more of these we might see in the future?

Not sure I see this getting into my kit bag - I'm happy with my 24-70 f2.8L, especially the size. But, I'm glad so many people are happy to see this lens. Looks like a fantastic option.

How time changes, now the other folks will stop bickering Canon on the hoods!

certainly a couple of firsts.... but "break the internet"?

This is about to be the most hater thing I\'ve ever posted on this website, but . . . Is it just me, or is the 24-105/2.8 just a touch ugly looking? Like, what is going on with the wide spacing of the marks on the focus ring? It looks like the EF 200/2.8 L II, released in 1996.

We’ve seen them in the past. Canon said this about the EF 75-300 III (cheap, low-IQ Rebel kit telezoom): “The front part of the zoom ring now sports a silver ring for a luxury touch.”

Focus Ring with Tactile Feedback​

As you rotate the focus ring in either direction you'll feel soft click-stops that give you a sense of how much you're adjusting.

Separate case for the 200-800 available which probably makes sense. I wonder how many users of white lenses actually use the case that came with it
- at least for the smaller ones.

I wonder if the 24-105 is compatible with the RF extenders. Being able to make it a 48-210 would be fun.

The aperture ring will work for photos but not on the current RF bodies. The press release I read on DPReview stated it’ll work with upcoming bodies released in 2024 and beyond.

"Don't knock it 'til you try it," as they say, but I don't imagine I would enjoy this even for video work (the intended use case).

So far the most extensive first take.
Hopefully, later bodies will fix the distortion correction when fast zooming.
The centre of the frame drifts a bit when zooming.
And the power zoom adapter could have been better designed for the price.
Looks great otherwise, even sharper than the 24-70/2.8

Nope, rear element right up against the mount.

Regarding the 24-105, the amount of cheers I'm seeing on YouTube video and social media posts are really quite impressive.

 

[Foxdude]

I must be the oddbird here, but I'm most interested in the new rf-s 10-18mm, the other two are out of my (justified) price range right now. 200-800 is still something to look after, and might be added to my collection some day.
Personally not interested in 24-105 F2.8.
Now I have to wait the reviews of the wonderfully compact, light and small rf-s 10-18mm. And I think it is really going to be very satisfying lens for me. Must be as good as ef-m 11-22, or better, right? And with a hood!! Wow!

 

[davidespinosa]

$1000 and $1300 power zoom adapters.
Very happy I don't need them !!

For comparison:
RF 100/2.8 $1000
RF 70-200/4 $1400

The early comments on DPR are remarkably good - must still be bedtime for most of their trolls. 3 very impressive looking lenses - although as always the detailed reviews will tell the real story.
