There are three new lenses coming on November 2, 2023 from Canon

[neuroanatomist]

In any way, i have enough glass.

I. Don’t. Understand.

At. All.

 

[Del Paso]

Serious (for change): an f 1,0 is no impossibility, even though, I'd also expect an f 1,2

35mm f1,2: I'm also tempted.

+ 1

Probably not; to be able to break the internet I think the only two lenses would be the 35 f1.2/1.4 or the 50 f1.4

...but Sigma has a 105 f1.4 so I'll root for the new Canon RF 105 f1.2 IS USM L possibly in white, thanks

How about 35-50mm f/1.2-1.4 for only $10,000?

 

[JayLauz]

I'm guessing the mysterious 3rd lens will be the RF 200-500mm f/4L. I'm hoping it's the TS-R 14mm f/4L. The former is not something I'd purchase (sticking with the EF 600/4 II + 1.4x for birds until something meaningfully better comes along). The latter is something I'd preorder immediately.

Shout out to the 35/1.2L. Lol.

Oh man I really hope its a 35mm 1.2 or 1.4 L!

 

[EOS 4 Life]

I don't think Sony (or any manufacturer for that matter) has a 24-105mm f/2.8.

That is what makes it "the best lens ever".

 

[EOS 4 Life]

We can do this all day
Nothing will change my mind short of a f/1.0....

You misspelled f/0.95

 

[EOS 4 Life]

I'm sure that a constant 24-105 f2.8 is something anybody can do today

I can't but that is probably not what you meant.

 

[Walrus]

I can't but that is probably not what you meant.

Anybody meaning any lens manufacturer, of course it has been done (quality was bad, if you saw the video I posted), and I don't think it could be so much complicate then doing the 35-150 f2-2.8 that both Tamron and Samyang already do for E-mount.

 

[roby17269]

You misspelled f/0.95

Well, Kubrik used a 50mm f/0.7 lens....

 

[bergstrom]

still no sign of an RF 85 1.4 or maybe 1.8 for us poorer people.

 

[roby17269]

Serious (for change): an f 1,0 is no impossibility, even though, I'd also expect an f 1,2

It would be great if it was a 1.0... but in my mind a 50 or 85 1.0 would make a tad more sense (in the realm of nosensibilityland).

But I'm expecting a 1.2 as well.... A 35mm f/1.2 would complete the "trinity" with the 50 and 85. Also Sony and Nikon have or will have a 35 1.2... so there's limited incentive in one-upping them on a focal length which is not one of the most exciting (some forum dwellers excluded )

 

[Walrus]

still no sign of an RF 85 1.4 or maybe 1.8 for us poorer people.

There's the 85 f2 which is super good and decently cheap, I had it, great quality, and useful half macro MFD; but the AF sucked, especially in backlighting.

 

[jaygould]

I am only interested in a 35mm f1.2L if it has a similar size and weight as the f1.8 STM.

If they can pull that off (perhaps by skipping the ILIS and not prioritizing sharpness wide open), then I might pick one up.

No chance, I'm afraid.

So, it will break the internet, hmm…

It is a 200-500mm but f/2.8 instead of f/4, and that’s why you posted about the old Sigma 200-500mm yesterday! Et voilà!

 

[danfaz]

still no sign of an RF 85 1.4 or maybe 1.8 for us poorer people.

I think it's safe to say the RF 85mm f2 is the replacement for EF 85mm f/1.8.

 

[FrenchFry]

Maybe the new lens is that fancy 1x-1.4x-2x teleconverter.

 

[Bdbtoys]

To break the internet, I think it would have to be the TS w/ AF.

 

[David - Sydney]

"break the internet"?

So the list of unannounced lenses on the roadmap are:
Canon RF-S 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM => repackage of EF-M = won't break the internet
Canon TS-R 14mm f/4L => with AF would be unique and ultra wide and expensive. Aspirational lens but can't see it breaking the internet
Canon TS-R 24mm f/3.5L => as above but probably cheaper and less unique as the focal length already exists. Can't see it breaking the internet
Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L USM => Sony has one already... can't see it breaking the internet
Canon RF 28mm f/1.4L USM => Sigma has one, Nikon has a AF-S and Sony a f2. Can't see it breaking the internet
Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L USM => lots waiting with baited breath for it but Sigma has one and Canon the EF f/1.4 and Nikon is rumoured
Canon RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM => very expensive and probably great but for a limited number of users (but plenty of keyboard warrior commentators)
Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS => rumoured for 2-Nov
Canon RF 500mm f/4L IS USM => could be a redesign or just adding a RF adaptor. Can't see it breaking the internet.

So the only really unique lens would be the TS-R 14/4 with AF being the technological breakthrough. The number of buyers would be small though.
A 200-500/4 would be the RF upgrade of the 200-400/4+TC but not as unique as the 120-300/2.8 IMHO

Weirdly enough, CR has mentioned the Canon RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM but it isn't on the roadmap and the post doesn't have a CR rating on it.

No RF50/1.4 or wide/fast (<24mm and f1.4 or even f1.8) prime :-(
