Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L USM and RF 50mm f/1.4L USM coming in Q4 as part of a "hybrid family" of L prime lenses

[Canon Rumors Guy]

The Canon RF prime lineup has been one of sadness and frustration for some shooters, but it looks like that is going to be rectified soon for a lot of shooters. Back in September we mentioned that an RF 50mm f/1.4 was in the pipeline, but we didn’t have any idea when it was coming.

YouTube creators tend to bring about a fair bit of negativity at times. This is why we don't push YouTube videos very often.

Please keep things civil, if you have an issue... just move along. The information here is pretty solid.

I was seriously looking at the RF50L at panamoz this weekend, but I’ll wait for the big Canon announcement to see if there will be a 50/1.4 and if so, what it brings over the f/1.8 I’m currently using.

Simon adds chapter markers for all his videos and tends to have the headline news at the front, which makes his format a lot less obnoxious than other photo rumour focused videos.

Canon needs to stop puttering around with 50mm lenses that nobody wants and release the TS-E 14 they promised, or else me and everyone else will switch to Sony’s open mount that allows 3rd party lenses like the…

Well, that fell apart rather quickly.

50mm f/1.4 with IS sounds juicy indeed

 

[Del Paso]

I want only 3rd. party lenses, not the crappy Canon RF lenses.
Tamron and Sigma rule!
PS: I wrote this, being in a state of complete sloshedness...

Who is gonna inform Ahsanford?

 

[JonasGillmann]

YES! Finally!

But I'm still hoping for a fast 14mm RF prime next to the 24mm!

And I hope they'll update the RF 15-35 f/2.8 (without IS to make it smaller) sometime in the next 1-2 years as well.

Ahsanford precious lens... it is happening!

Canon Rumors is typically this guys number one source for “new” content. Weird that Canon Rumors is using him as a source now.

So…will I finally sell my Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art? We’ll see…

And I’m still waiting for an RF 28mm f/1.8 USM

If it's optically as good as the excellent F2,8 and an L lens: I'll sure buy it. I'm slowly getting rid (at Canon's "pace") of WA zooms, so I'm waiting for high IQ WA and UWA lenses.

Exactly ! That guy only regurgitates what Canon rumors say.

Well, sources come and go. People move on to other things in life. Sometimes we hear things that we can't post until someone else does... but we can verify it.

This launch cycle is unlike anything I have seen before.

A RF 50mm F1.4 would be a sure future-addition for me given it has a similar price point like the 85mm F2 (probably plus 200 $). I had the EF version which I bought was awful so I sold it after a few weeks. I know, I might have had a bad copy, but still not worth the hassle.

I am going to Tenerife this and will be able to try to get some astro shots. A fast prime such as a 14mm or 12mm would be very welcome! It could even turn out to be my first (and probably only) immediate preorder once such a lens is announced.

 

[Tmjc.wolf]

Im interested if the 24mm 1.4 is decently corrected for coma, as it could be useful for astrophotography. Historically Canon primes have had pretty awful coma...

And the 50mm IS sounds really nice. I just hope that the video centric feature won't make it less useful for photographers.

Seeyabye pal. People barely need specific TS-E 14mm. Many of them require a decent RF 50/1.4. So speak for yourself and go to Fony.

Seems you misunderstood the original poster's sarcasm...
