EF14mm F2L probability?

[mikekx102]

Hi guys, I've been waiting for an EF14mm F2L since it was rumored back in April 2018. Since then the R mount has been released. Do you think this means that any release of an awesome Astro lens would only be in an "R" mount? I have a 1DX II but just want a superb extra-wide angle Astro-photography lens.

Do you have any thoughts?

Mike.

why not the sigma 14mm 1.8 which is available now rather than wait for something that might not even appear?

All joking aside, anything truly new, as opposed to a minor refresh, for the EF mount is highly doubtful. Canon seems to be all-in on the RF mount.

The only problem I see with buying an EF mount lens now--Sigma or Canon--is that the R does not support "High Speed Display" for anything other than Rf lenses, meaning that there is more electronic viewfinder stutter with EF lenses. Doesn't seem like that would be a problem for astro! But it does show that EF lenses don't get quite the same respect on the RF mount.

This might not be an issue if the next R body's EVF somehow overcomes the stutter/lag effect altogether. We'll see!

That was not a rumor, it was a mention of lenses that people had written to CR about, none of them were actually known to CR Guy, so it did not even rate as a rumor.

I don't expect to ever see one.
