Patent: Canon RF 135mm f/1.4L USM
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Be still my beating heart! If this comes to fruition I will be one very happy guy! Please Canon. Please! A native f/2 would be fine, f/1.4 would be sublime. Wondering what the front filter thread size would be. 105mm+?

That would peak the chatter high. With eye focus on the EOS-R lineup, I would shoot 135 at 1.4 more often than needed. The image will be one of a kind. RF lenses seem to be smaller than the EF anyway.
I don't know which RF lenses you are talking about being smaller (70-200?), but every RF lens I have is a monster compared to EF. However, I like that.

Hi, Welcome from an ePhotozine fan, & 6D user.
Wow, a classic lens where the new version could also be an instant classic.
" consumer product " but business landing price. Would LOVE to see images taken by this presently hypothetical lens.

The difference between this lens and a 1.8 or 2.0 will be $5,000 and triple the weight. Assuming we only get 1 L lens at this focal length, I would be happy to see this lens never get made, because I would really like a compact and fast 135 L lens

Hmmn, I expect this would be an amazing lens - and probably render some amazing shots.
However..... what I like about the existing (EF)135/2 is that it is also a pretty unobtrusive little tool, which gives great results but doesn't draw any attention at all. I can't help feeling that at 135/1.4, it will be a different kettle of fish - "great", but you won't be going around subtly with it.

I disagree, a 135mm f1.4 need only have a 95mm front element, it’s not crazy like the larger than 100mm front elements on all the big whites. A 135mm f1.8 need only have a 75mm front element, or a 77mm filter thread.
Indeed the RF 28-70mm f2 has a 95mm front thread and is $3,000, I’d expect a 135mm f1.4 to be mechanically simpler, a similar size, lighter, and less costly. I’d guesstimate the $2,499 prince point. A 135mm f1.8 should be considerably cheaper than that, probably sub $2,000.
This plus a sports worthy R-series body would likely be enough to bring me back to Canon. I would fully expect this lens to be in the $6-8K range though.
Why? That doesn’t make any sense or correlate with similar sized glass Canon already make.
You only make my heart pump harder.
People seem to forget the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 and the price isn't out of line at $1,599. For a Canon? Anywhere from $2,699 - $4,000 would be fine with me. Can't take it with me.

Weight lifting might be recommendable
Filter size about 95 to 105 mm, lenght 162,2 mm, approx. weight 1,5 kg +
