Well here's a fun optical formula from Canon discovered by Canon News, a Canon RF 135mm f/1.4L USM. The Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM is an all-time classic, and this would certainly be an amazing offering worth of the new lens mount.
I think there is a higher than normal probability that such a lens design will make it into a consumer product.
Canon RF 135mm f/1.4L USM:
- Focal length: 131.00mm
- F-Number: 1.41
- Half angle of view: 9.38°
- Image height: 21.64mm
- Total lens length: 182.28mm
- BF: 13.87mm

Either way: IS would be nice.
Well, all future EOS R bodies will have IBIS. So that does help reduce weight a bit for these types of lenses.
and no... no EF version :(
" consumer product " but business landing price. Would LOVE to see images taken by this presently hypothetical lens.
However..... what I like about the existing (EF)135/2 is that it is also a pretty unobtrusive little tool, which gives great results but doesn't draw any attention at all. I can't help feeling that at 135/1.4, it will be a different kettle of fish - "great", but you won't be going around subtly with it.
Indeed the RF 28-70mm f2 has a 95mm front thread and is $3,000, I’d expect a 135mm f1.4 to be mechanically simpler, a similar size, lighter, and less costly. I’d guesstimate the $2,499 prince point. A 135mm f1.8 should be considerably cheaper than that, probably sub $2,000.
Is that confirmed??
You caught that too. Craig spouting some juicy R details here.
Weight lifting might be recommendable :ROFLMAO:
Filter size about 95 to 105 mm, lenght 162,2 mm, approx. weight 1,5 kg +
But I must get one, no matter how...:devilish:
