Canon to Come Out with a Canon RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM?

[Richard CR]

In this patent application (2026-003292), Canon showcases several fast primes, and it is likely the patent application for the Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 VCM. But with this patent application, two embodiments are very interesting for CanonRumors' viewers, which are the 14mm F1.4 embodiments. These embodiments feature the optimal lens length of approximately 99cm, depending on […]

A 14/1.4 would be nice but looks to be heavy and expensive with all those elements. I wouldn’t need close minimum focus distance or IS for Astro.

Having a similar lens in price to the Sony 14/1.8 would suit everything I would need and some of the physical features of the sigma 14/1.4 (dew heater placement, focus lock etc) would round out the perfect lens

The 20/1.4 VCM is a great lens and I’d almost certainly buy a 14/1.4 or 14/1.8 VCM, should one come along. But personally, I’d take a TS-R 14 over the faster VCM prime, in a heartbeat.

Also, with a TS-R the purists won’t be able to complain about cutting the corners off the FF image circle.

I'd prefer a TS-R 12mm f/2.8 over that one (or RF 12mm f/2).

I'm not sure a TS-R of 12mm is even possible, if it did, it'd probably look something like the Nikkor 7.5mm, which would be highly amusing to be honest.

Hah. i guessed around the correct number, it'd be 7.8mm, assuming a 10mm shift amount, or a full 66mm image circle diameter.
