Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L USM video features

[Canon Rumors Guy]

The Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L USM has been our unicorn of lenses, it’s probably the most anticipated lens announcement in a long time from Canon. We reported last month that we’d finally get an official announcement this month or perhaps by mid-May, but you will have it mounted to your camera in the next couple

Although I´m not in the market for this lens, I am hoping for a F1.2 aperture because the line-up will look like someone messed up

85mm F1.2
50mm F1.2
35mm F1.4

I´m always in favor of "corporate design"

We don't have a thorough breakdown of what that looks like at this time, and we don't want to interpret things incorrectly.

Glad that you're not taking wild guesses and not giving wrong information! Too many people on the internet do that...

"Slow news is better than no news". It will be meaningful for those who are desperately waiting for this lens!

However, these features will appear in more future Canon primes lenses.

Sound like there are a few Mkii versions coming in the next couple of years.

And your post isn't meaningless?

Sony 35m f1.4 is 524g
Sigma 35mm f1.2 is 1090g.
Canon may think it is 2 markets and doesn't want to waste time to catch Nikon 35mf1.2.
They can release 1.4 first and release f1.2 after Nikon.
If Nikon didn't announce f1.2 last year, Canon may not change the plan.
The selling from Ef35mm f1.4 must be very great st that time!

While I agree with you, that this is basically just clickbait, we have to accept that a site like this lives through clicks and exposure. And having nothing new to post for a few days is probably bad for traffic.
At least it's not another one of those "what we want in the upcoming R1" posts

Engament! And it worked, because people are commenting on it

@roby17269 does the rumoured f/1.4 fit your use case?

 

[EricN]

I'm assuming optical image stabilization can be marketed as a video feature and no focus breathing would be another one. Traditional mechanical focus would be a third, but I find it unlikely.

 

[SwissFrank]

So it the rumor mill at least solid that it is an f/1.4 not f/1.2?

The only good thing about f/1.4 is that it leaves room for an f/1.0 halo lens at some point...

 

[fiendstudios]

If it ain't 1.2 its a no go for me.

 

[jeffa4444]

If it’s f1.4 then I can see Canon producing video centric lenses from 24mm to at least 85mm all at f1.4 (24,35,50,85mm)
Canon has the more expensive High End cinema lenses in the Sumire series but nothing consistent in the lower end so that could give them great mileage as the former f 1.4 EF lenses were commonly used for video. Although slightly slower they could also do a video centric version of the RF 135mm f1.8 to round out the set.

A 35 mm f1.4 would be preferred int terms of portability, but frankly I am not interested in this lens at this time.

Did we not have a Rumor saying: Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L USM Confirmed for 2024 [C3]

Wow, so I guess Canon lens designers have been "messed up" since 1976, when they introduced an 85/1.2 for the first time, joining the 55/1.2 they already had, and their fastest 35mm was only f/2. Or have they been "messed up" since 1998, when they finally introduced a 35/1.4 on the EF mount?

Or is the "mess up" here someone shooting their mouth off with no idea what they're talking about?

Does seeing ‘confirmed’ in a rumour make your eye twitch as well? It does for me

Are there two different fast RF35L coming?

 

[YuengLinger]

Where are the oh so sophisticated pros threatening to denounce a brand because a 35mm lens is a tragic fail if it's 1.4 instead of 1.2? (Or any of 100 other tantrum triggers...) Cartman lurks...
