Continue reading...The Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM has appeared for Russian certification (SKU 4318C005A), which means we should get an official announcement soon. I expect to see the RF 50mm f/1.8 IS STM to be announced alongside it.
While we don’t have an exact announcement date, we may see them announced in a few weeks alongside the new RF mount Cinema cameras and other new gear.
Why, when the f/2.8 doesn't, where it would be more useful?
It'll be interesting to see what their design choice will be on the f/4 version. If it has an internal zoom, it's quite possible that the teleconverters will work.
Interesting idea - I was shure they will do it as extending zoom for "stow away compactness" but maybe they have found an optical formular to make it internal but still quite compact (with enouth space for TCs).
Same here. I expect a shorter and lighter (than adapter+lens) system and I expect some strong optimization for cooperative IS (IBIS + lens) and some nano-USM implementation to exploit the video capabilties of the R5/6 cameras.
The RF 35mm f/1.8 is $400. I betting the 50mm will come in around $300 if they add a control ring.
Has anyone seen the attainable framerates by various adapted EF lenses? If it exists I haven't seen it. Interested mostly for my 100-400 II and 70-200/2.8.
Unfortunately, we still have another 4+ months left of 2020.
70-200/2.8 II has been confirmed being 12FPS Ready by a forum member. HenryL if I recall correctly?
I don't think there is any difference in frame rate between EF/RF lenses. This one will really hard to measure without some testing tools. The only difference I would expect would be in IBIS effectiveness. The RF lenses communicate more information and should provide better co-operation between he body/lens.
