It’s Canon EOS R6 Mark III Week With a Fresh Teaser
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
45 1.2 is perfect as is. do not want weather sealing. used non-ws lenses in the rain many times and never had issue. i haven't been excited about an RF lens in a while. i wish for an EF 40 2.8 STM in RF mount (yes i know flange distance is diff) but if they could somehow repackage that lens.. those optics are stellar in that lens. i absolutely love it. that being said, i'm hoping this new RF 45 is closer to the 40mm FOV side vs the 50 side. if it hovered around 43mm (whatever AOV that is) i'd be happy.

My guess for this 45 1.2 IQ, it'll be "quite good" in the center wide open with corners showing softness, picking up @ F2 in the corners and by F4, just about perfect. i'd be happy with this as i plan on using this as a isolationist/character/rendering lens. I hope! i don't want too many corrections making the bokeh busy jittery etc.

I remember the patents shown here being around 48mm, so not on the wide side, this should be a 50mm in disguise; it's called 45 just not to go head to head with the 50 L and the 50 VCM

I now use my R7 and R50V more than my R6-2, mostly because I bought six Sigma APS-C zooms and primes. My EF lenses are mostly 10-25 years old and not well suited for video work. That's why I'm much more interested in what the R7-2 will be than in what the R6-3 will be.

There is a tilting rear LCD on smaller bodies like M6 II. The R8 is bigger than that. There will be space for tilting and angle

I don't fully understand this line of thinking that's being perpetuated about non-stacked sensors.
If the readout speed is sufficient, then who cares if it's stacked or not. I've owned the R6, R6ii, and R5. The R6ii has an amazing sensor that excels at low light, and has minimal rolling shutter in real world use. It's also got exception AF already, better than the R5 and does it at 40fps.
Canon would never kill off sales of the R5ii by releasing a 32mp baby brother that does everything else the same.

Yeah I would have been really surprised, if the R6 III did not get a tally light on the front.
Regarding the 45mm f1.2 i am actually interested into this one, it could really be the successor to my EF 50mm f1.8. Though I am shooting on an R7, and as long as Viltrox is not producing for RF Mount, this might be a very valuable option!

RF 45:
looking at the photos, the RF 45 looks even smaller than in the ones before.
If there aren't any major flaws then I'm sure This lens will find its way into my bag, sooner or later.
About the R6m3:
Looks like a well dosed improvement in ergos over the predecessors.
If this will get into my hands will depend a lot in its sensor performance (ISO, s/n) and AF improvements.
I am still very pleased with my mk2.

The camera looks really nice and I love the specs! I love they kept the camera layout exactly the same! I think Canon is settling in. I´d only wish for a different rear screen mechanism. If I hadn't gotten the R5 last year, this would be my new camera 
To me, 32 MP (12,5 MP in crop mode) is an absolute sweet spot! 45 MP sometimes really is too much, especially when shooting kids on sports day... First world problems.
An interesting side note: There were rumors/ mumblings once of the R8ii getting a stacked if the R6iii gets one because in order to cut costs they share the same sensor. Well, thats obviously off the table (if it ever actually was on the table). I don't even believe the R8ii would get the R6iii sensor. In terms of market segmentation, it makes sense to keep the R8 at 24 MP. So I'll go ahead and purchase an R8 because the only that'd make me wait for th mkii would be a joystick. I think that isn't happening.
If the original R6 finally drops in resell value, I´d strongly consider it as well. I am shooting two christening, a diamond wedding, a 60th and a 50th birthday in my family/ friend circle next year. Looking forward to a two camera set-up

That's the good thing about opinions. YMMV, MMMV
I don't see any Sony lens that I'd be drool for.

I won´t preorder the 45mm F1.2 (mainly because were moving on Dec 1st and spending a lot of money), but I'll rent it or test it otherwise and put it up against my 50mm F1.4 VCM. The 45mm is really intriguing and it could save me a lot of money. I´m sure the VCM is better, but is it that much better that it justifies 1k € more? I'll see...

You're repeating yourself.
It's not "blocking". Nobody if forced to give up patents or open up their eco system to others completely.
I am sure you have been complaining about Apple having a closed eco system as well throughout the lats twenty years, haven't you?
That's just free market economy.

Actually i hope the R8 II will keep the current sensor that is amazing and will add some features from the R6, like IBIS or joystick or wheel.

I´d hope so, too! But, realistically I don't think it'll happen. IBIS and a joystick pushes it very close to the R6 line. I´d believe they'll add a wheel and maybe a button to the layout. Few minor tweaks and done. Looking at the price point, R6 line up isn't going upmarket, so the R8ii won't either. If both had gone upmarket, it would've created space for an even more stripped down FF camera (R9). A spot in which currently the RP kind of sits in. If this would have been the case, I believe the R8ii would have gained more features.But four or five (depending on whether the R3 line will stick around) lines of FF cameras seem to be enough.
The R6iii release kind of tells us a lot about the rest of the line-up. About the R8 but also how Canon handles market segmentation in comparison to the R5 (eye AF, cross type AF points...). The only real question to me is: what will happen to the R3 line? Will it become GS one day? Or will it serve as a cheaper R1 option lacking certain features? We will see.
