New Autofocus RF mount tilt-shift lenses expected after next round of camera announcements

New RF mount Tilt-Shift lenses have been rumored for quite some time, and one of the big features coming is that they will be the first tilt-shift lenses that we know of to have autofocus.

We have seen a series of patents for these lenses, and in the last six months or so, they have become far more detailed in how they are going to work.

We do believe they will require the next generation cameras from Canon to utilise their entire feature set. They will obviously still mount to any RF mount camera, but we don’t know what features may not work on current and older cameras.

We do not currently know any further details in regards to focal length or speed, but we do believe we’ll hear something official about them by the end of 2024.
