Canon Will Announce a Zoom Lens Faster Than F/2.0 in Late 2026
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
just teasing you
70-135 f/1.4... stop trying to seduce me.70-135 f/1,4 would be very nice and useful for many.
I do not expect this zoom to cover an extreme range, f/1,4 will be already difficult to design.
But Canon have already used us to spectacular lens developments in the past, so, who knows?

Looking at Richards table with all the different zoom ranges from the patent, I´d personally say 28-55mm F1.4 sounds the most intriguing. I´d also love 35-70mm and I´d consider buying one of these lenses if the prices allows it. An UWA f1.4 zoom such as 16-24mm F1.4 wouldn't interest me at all. But that's just me
Keep in mind, and my article mentioned this, that most of those lens designs would be almost impossible even for a fixed lens camera with a back focus distance of .4mm, which basically has the rear element touching the sensor. basically 2 hair thicknesses away from the sensor, and I'm not sure if that includes the IR filter stack or the physical sensor itself. which could mean it's touching the sensor.
There is one design, and one design only (which was highlighted at a 15mm back focus distance).
Also, all those designs are huge - think 8" lens designs as well for a very narrow focal zoom range. While a lot of the .4mm back focus designs were collapsable I think, they are still far larger than what we would expect from a compact camera, and an ultra wide zoom lens even if it's f/1.4

It would be too expensive. Only a lens in the range of 24-50mm may perhaps be made a little bit faster than f 2.0 with good IQ and acceptable price - think of an f1.8. An RF 24-50/1.8L may easily cost 4000€. Who will spend so much money?
So, if Canon will make a fast zoom, we should expect a plastic phantastic with low image quality like the 1.2/45 or APS-C glass. But definitely not a L Lens.

That wouldn’t stop many buyers. The 28-70mm f/2 cost about 3600 to 3900€ at launch
And the Sony 50-150mm f/2 is selling for more than that, so there is a market.
If f/1.4, I’d put about 1k on top of that price.

I am getting tired of this one trick pony. Too many wide angle primes and zooms and not much in mid-tele, that is badly required. No real fast lenses for crop cameras, but rummer to have another R7 without any good lenses. What’s the point? I am purchasing Sima fast lenses for my R7.

Surprisingly yes.
I just had a recent experience with the 28-70/2, shooting in low light conditions (event). I was shocked to see how I can see the lack of IS on the images and probably how much I got used using IS. I had to explicitly focus on having a steady hand which I haven't much done in the past ~15y.
Btw, I don't really see Canon leaving IS behind despite the development of IBIS. I believe it's the combination of the two which can give a real good result. Especially at higher focal lengths, but I'm no expert, can't draw a graph
2025 - 14-30 IS, 16-28 IS
2024 - 28-70 IS

What do you class as low quality?
The 1.2/45 is not trying to be the sharpest lens in the world, just a reasonable priced offering for the masses.

Well, mine arrived yesterday after an excruciating 1-month wait
The Adorama rep told me that they cannot keep those in stock... and that there were 20-ish people in the queue after me, but they receive 2-3 a week, so there's that

Fair enough. It's outside my area. But I have seen it said that cinema cameras are usually used with rigs (is that the word?) to stabilise them? Cinema lenses don't usually have IS, do they?

I presume you’re using a camera that lacks IBIS. The point being made was that the 28-70/2 delivers 8 stops of stabilization with IBIS alone, which is the same as the 24-70/2.8 IS achieves in combination with IBIS.
Canon has a graph for you (not a proper one, since it’s lacking numbers on the axes). You are certainly correct that the benefit of lens IS is mainly with longer focal lengths.Btw, I don't really see Canon leaving IS behind despite the development of IBIS. I believe it's the combination of the two which can give a real good result. Especially at higher focal lengths, but I'm no expert, can't draw a graph

...there are comments on here, and then there are real world comments on here.
This is one of the real world comments, at least for me. Well done.
Canon's implementation of IS in its lenses? Indispensable for my own photography.
