Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Version 2 Coming?

If the image circle needs stretching, the lens probably needs to be wider than marketed, so the 31.43mm version with the length of 8cm could be the new 35 :-)
Nope, that’s not how it works. The forced distortion correction is ‘stretching’ to fill the corners, not cropping from a wider FoV.

The 31.4mm f/1.85 embodiment would likely be called a 32mm f/1.8. Recall there is an EF-M 32/1.4 lens.

"All the designs have a 40mm image circle, which means there would be about 3.3mm of “stretching” to cover a full-frame image sensor. This is becoming the new normal for a lot of lens designs."

Just awful, imho.

Thankfully I have a great copy of the EF IS. Canon sent it to me busted AF..then they fixed it up NICELY. Its been fantastic ever since.

Hopefully there's some new L mount announcements coming up soon. Sigh.
