Lenses that you want Canon to release next

[craiglove]

I would love to see something like a 24-200 f2.8 and f4L lenses available. I use the 24-70 f4 and have both the f4 and f2.8 70-200's. I shoot a fair amount of music in clubs and am always trapped between the two lenses and having to change back and forth. I actually love the EF-S 18-135 which I use on the 7D and 80D mostly for video. To me that 28-200 equivalent range is almost perfect. I just bought the 28-135 to try out but am not wild about it always slipping to the long end of the range when carrying it.

I do have many of the fast primes but good quality zooms get you spoiled real fast. For me, a 24-200 would be superb!

everyone seem to be excited about the new 24-105L II and 16-35 2.8L III, but i am longing for either the new 50 1.4 and 85 1.8
where are they?

Beside the real lenses I'm also waiting for the 250D and 500D close-up lenses for all filter sizes they don't exist yet.

There are rumors about Canon is working on a replacement for the 50mm F1.4 but no concrete information about the release, features and price. Image Stabiliser or not Image Stabilizer is the question. I gave up waiting and bought the Sigma 50 Art, and other people bought the 50 STM as a temporary lens, while the new F1.4 does not come.

At some point, Canon will update the 85mm F1.8 but there is not yet any information about it.

I would like to see Canon release a non-L lens to compete with the Sigma/Tamron 150-600 or the Nikon 200-500 offerings and have it priced in the $1000-1400 price window.

 

[Baba_HT]

50 II L lens is much needed

 

[Duckman]

50 II L lens is much needed

I would like to see a new 50L as well.

 

[TAF]

After much deliberation, I think I'd like a 50mm f/0.8 IS L

 

[Don Haines]

800 F8.0 DO

 

[Viggo]

After I bought the 85 f1.8 I really enjoy, I would have liked it to have upgraded AF so it tracks better in lowish light, and upgraded sharpness and way less purple fringing.

A really enjoyable lens overall that needs a fresh up .

 

[SteveM]

The 85mm 1.8 is the only non L series lens I have, it is soooo sharp. Just give it stabilisation and I'd be happy. The 24-70 f2.8 should have IS as well, I often use the poorer 24-105 because I have the security IS offers with it.

I'll join the chorus for a new 50L. Perfectly fine with me if it's f/1.4, that might keep the bulk and price a bit lower, but per-leeze, give it IS.

Personally I would still like to see a 600 f/4 with built in 1.4TC like the 200-400. Honestly not caring if it is DO or L but having the ability to go from 600 to 840 and back again without opening my 1DX MK II's sensor to dirt would be pretty fantastic. A DO version, provided it has the same IQ, would just be icing on the cake.

I seriously want a new 50mm more then anything right now. It would never have IS in my opinion but it would be nice. Give me a refreshed 50 f2 IS and there is a good chance I would buy it. Too bad I can't imagine it having weather sealing. I want to be able to grab any lens in my arsenal and not have to worry about the weather. I've considered the Tamron 45mm but after my unhappy experience with my 50 art, I would like to stay with in the Canon eco system. I don't think I can wait for ever though.

I would want a 16 or 17 f2.8 non L NO IS for under $600. Something kinda lighter that I would take hiking. I have a 24-70 2.8 So I don't need 16-35 (I want) but it would be nice to save the weight. I think it would pair really well with the new 24-105 for hiking.

I just picked up the 16-35 f4is and I am very impressed so far. This lens doesn't seem to add any weight to my 5d3 with a grip and I would think would be a great lens for hiking.

• To weld on my EOS M: A super sharp, contrasty and flare resistant EF-M 2.0 50mm IS + good closeup capability - 0.3x magnification + in macro supersharp across the frame from f/4 on // some compromises are needed to keep the size below e.g. EF-S 2.8 macro
• For both worlds (FF + APS-C): EF 4.0 40-200 L IS USM+STM with superior quality, good close focus (1:5...1:4 at 200mm seems to be realistic) in a compact package e.g. like a smaller version of the EF 70-300 L - would be my "standard" lens

EDIT: 0.3x magnification, not 3x!

 

[AvTvM]

EF-M 85/2.4 IS STM
as compact as possible, optically as excellent as 22/2.0 and also very affordable.

after that:
EF-M 50/1.8 IS STM
EF-M 35/2.0 STM - as small, good and cheap as the Fuji XF

will provide an excellent lineup of ultra-compact, optically good and inexpensive EF-M primes allowing us to go "really small" whenever we want:
22 / 35 / 50 / 85 with angle of view like 35 / 55 / 80 / 135 on FF.

Okay! So in the last few years, Canon have given us a new 24-70 f/2.8, 100-400, 35, 16-35 & 24-105 so I think there's 3 lenses left on the 'fix-it' list

50mm (all 3)
85mm (both)
14mm (make it the Astro king please!)

So let's start with the 50mm

I guess you don't use at 1.8 then... at 2.8 I have no complaints about IQ either.
