I have been told to expect a “world's first” wide-angle zoom lens from Canon in the next few months, the official announcement date and shipping date are unknown at this time.

The source claims that a Canon RF 14-21mm f/1.4L USM is currently being tested by select photographers. We've seen a patent for such a lens in the past and I have heard mentions of this lens a few times over the last year or so.

There are a couple of other crazy lens designs I've heard about that I hope to let you all know about soon.

More to come…

  1. Holy shit... how heavy will this be?!
    2-3kg?! And a price of 3-5k€!?
    You don’t need 1,4f for Astro... better less coma etc.
    hopefully with filter rear mount! (or body clip in filters)
  2. Shit, that's really expensive. But you are probably right...
    My first though twas $2500USD. But it could be a lot more. I think the EF Sigma 14mm ART lens is $1700 still. It'll look like a steal with the filter adapter and a set of drop in filters for less than the cost of the zoom.
  3. I really want this lens. I am guessing that it will be at least $3,500usd since the RF 15-35 f2.8L is about $2,200usd now.
    I love how Canon is really busy innovating and bringing us great products! Unreal.

    How about f/1.4 and low coma characteristics?

    Who doesn’t need f/1.4 for Astro? You? Personally, I found f/2.8 to be too slow. I’ll decide what I need/want all on my own. Thanks.
