Well, well, well… could this be Canon’s lens roadmap for 2021? [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
I don't see the point of the "Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-7.1 IS USM". Given we already got a "Canon RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1 L IS USM" which is faster at the wide end and faster at the tele end for the same focal length. The only thing I can think of is that it's smaller or lighter or significantly cheaper. If it was f/5.6 at 400mm then I could see some advantage to giving up the 100mm of reach.
The 11-24 replacement seems to have gained 1mm at wide end again, just like the 15-35mm and it's EF equivalent. I see that the f/4 version of the 15-35 gains yet another 1mm at the wide end, 14-35mm.
I would have loved to see the long primes come with a built in switchable 1.4x TC built in (like the 200-400 f/4L) that was such a great idea.

There's a couple of lenses on that list that I'd be interested in - the 14-35 f/4 (or even the 10-24 f/4), and the 500/4 or 600/4. I have the 500/4 IS II now, and it is an exceptional lens, though not a good choice for a "walkabout" lens. Depending on the weight distribution of the 500 and 600, one of them could be my go-to lens, even if not a zoom.

Wow...a 70-200 F4 L IS the size of a coke can....They'll probably ask $2k for it though. For $1400, I may consider upgrading from my EF version. I think that's still like $300 more than the current EF version, though I haven't looked in a while.
Glad to see some more offerings in the consumer line. That 100-400 will probably replace the older 75-300 lenses, which were nice for the price.
And autofocus TS-R/E? could those be $3500 lenses? I think so. Or, maybe they'll drive the price on the EF series down enough that I can afford one. Lol.
Last question is - how do I use this list to convince my wife to let me spend the money on the R6 so I can use this stuff?

I suggested a couple months ago that I'd like to see this lens and that it was possible, and was told by a prominent member of this site that "no it's absolutely not possible".
This will be the new king of portrait prime lenses (RF 135 f/1.4), I thought the Sigma 135 f/1.8 was impressive...

I don't know why autofocus would be important in TS lenses. Maybe in some fringe uses, but I'd personally rather have TS lenses that focus manually and cost less, weigh less. It'll always be on a tripod the way I use them. Only speaking for myself.
And 14mm? Geeze.

I don't know why anyone would suggest a 135 f/1.4 is not possible. Mitakon already made one: https://petapixel.com/2015/10/19/mi...-f1-4-2999-gets-you-the-worlds-fastest-135mm/

Pretty fantastic.
For me, I'll get these as soon as I can swing it:
Canon TS-R 14mm f/4L
Canon TS-R 24mm f/3.5L
Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM
But these, almost immediately:
Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM and
Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM
Any referrals for architectural assignments would be greatly appreciated!
