Canon releases Q3 2021 financials, and lets us know 2 more RF lenses are coming this year

[mccasi]

As I’ve written many times: not much Astro love going on, wide angle fast prime ala 20 1.4L, 24 1.4L or the fabled 14-21 f2 zoom which I would buy in a heartbeat

 

[EricN]

Not my desire, but my guess:

• Canon RF 18-45mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
• Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro

What's your desire?

Lucifer Morningstar, is that you lol?

 

[Sorosuub]

What is taking so long for the new 35L?

 

[John Wilde]

No mention of new bodies.

They give them a vague mention:

"Going forward as well, we will effectively introduce new camera bodies and lenses..."

 

[AJ]

No mention of new bodies.

Yeah it's been pretty quiet on the R, RP replacements and possible R7. It'd be nice to know more, especially in the wake of Sony
s a7.4
Edit to add: if the 18-45 does indeed come out this year, as Neuro suggests, then that may shed some light on Canon's plans for crop R-mount cameras, if any.

20mm f/1.X prime with astro quality performance.

The old EF 35/1.4 L II isn't that old, for one thing.

 

[Sorosuub]

The old EF 35/1.4 L II isn't that old, for one thing.

It was released in 2015. That feels pretty old?

 

[navastronia]

Not by past standards. The 70-200 2.8L IS USM was released in 2001, the II in 2010, and the III in 2018. That's a spread of 8 and then 9 years.

 

[GoldWing]

All these lenses for a 20MP sports flagship when Nikon is already at 45.7MP. Canon can make all the lenses they want....

 

[neuroanatomist]

What's your desire?

I’d like an RF TS-E 14mm that accepts the EF adapter’s drop-in filters.

 

[Antono Refa]

PLEASE 35mm 0.95 and 135/1.0DS

Meh. Canon should release a 50mm f/0.7

 

[Ozarker]

Wanted: RF 135mm

Who the hell am I kidding.

 

[EOS 4 Life]

No mention of new bodies. Could mean rumors are wrong or Canon not wanting to tip their hand. Big whites are overdue and would be appropriate for the R3. Or they may be focusing on additional consumer lenses given how successful they’ve been.

Canon registered two new cameras we just do not know what they are

Canon already has a 45 MP camera that shoots 20 FPS

Yes but it's not for sports and is not well suited for big whites or ergonomics vertical to horizontal. Would prefer two CFExpress for workflow with two 512 and or 1TB cards. The R5 blooms in direct sun, Canon needs to address this for a sports camera for those of who shoot outdoors and and into stadium lighting.

Seems there will be two more lenses announced this year. Unless they are including the two converters in the total of 26. Only a month and a half left in the year.

I believe in the EF lineup, teleconverters were considered (and counted) as lenses. On the canon USA website, when you filter by RF lenses the extenders are on the list.

Not my desire, but my guess:

• Canon RF 18-45mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
• Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro

Just curious, why do you think an 18-45mm f/4-5.6 is likely? That would be an unusual range for FF. Are you thinking there's going to be an APS-C RF body soon? I don't remember what opinion you've expressed on that before.
