DZOFilm has announced a new Marlin 1.6x Expander to adapt Super35 lenses to full-frame cameras. The adapter multiplies the lens's focal length by 1.6x to magnify the image circle, resulting in a light loss of 1.5 stops,

Can be mounted on RF cameras.

Just call me annoying, but lets make a comment about this one too. And yes, I know it already is on the list as "(Coming soon)". But now it actually is here...

Has Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 RF been discontinued?

I just noticed that I couldn't find the productpage for Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 RF anymore on their homepages (viltrox.com, viltroxstore.com).
A website error? Temporary unavailable? Or has Canon forced Viltrox to discontinue the RF-mount autofocus lens? ...
Or is it just me who cannot find it?
I can't even find the latest firmware version 1.1.5 for it...

I was expecting to find something on pages like this (from various links and my browser historic):
https://www.viltrox.com/NewsInfoCategory?categoryId=362130&PageInfoId=0
https://viltroxstore.com/en/products/viltrox-85mm-rf-mount-for-canon-eos-r-mirrorless-camera
https://www.viltrox.com/NewsInfoCategory?categoryId=362130&PageInfoId=0

There was rumors of some (more) upcoming RF-mount AF fullframe and APS-C primes from Viltrox. But if they for some reason can't produce RF-mount AF-lenses, I guess we can forget our hopes about them:

That would be unfortunate. At the moment use my Tamron/Sigma/etc lenses with the adapter just fine, but would be nice to have native (mirrorless) glass available in the future as it would cost & weigh less for weather sealed quality lenses. Would even be happy if they kept on using the EF protocol with the RF lenses, but it looks like Canon is denying every RF lens with AF.

If that continues into the future, I'm unsure what my options will be as it's just impossible to buy the L series prime lenses from Canon (as a not fulltime professional). Still hoping they will release some good compromise in between the now 'cheap' f1.8 and 'pro' f1.2, but I highly doubt it.

Tamron by the way stopped production of nearly all (except 24-70/70-200/etc) there EF lenses some years ago and completely switched to Sony E, so they might not even go to the RF mount if it proves to difficult.

That has been discussed in another thread too


In my opinion, a most disappointing development.
