How 'bout a 28mm f/1.2 or f/1.4?

mb66energy · Apr 15, 2021

Some similarity with the EF-S 32: The light travels mostly through glass! Lots of thick lenses and a large number of elements - T1.8?

Sweeeeeet.

RF 35mm, 300mm and high MPIX camera will be next year's financial setback. At least better than the stock market crash last year.

I agree with the 28mm. I have the Sigma art 28mm f/1.4 and it is my most used indoor lens. I would love a RF 28L in 1.2 or 1.4.

OMGoodness! Another f/1.2!

Dream: RF 35mm f/1.2L, RF 50mm f/1.2L, RF 85mm f/1.2L, RF 28-70mm f/2L, RF 70-135mm f/2L, RF 135mm f/1.8L, RF 600mm f/4L

Reality? Ugh!!!$$$

Throw in a RF 24mm f/1.2L and make it an epic nightmare of a dream.

It certainly completes a new f1.2 trinity of 85mm / 50mm / 35mm

The long awaited 35 will potentially and finally step up to the ultimate f1.2L trio. Now we need a kick a@@ name for that Trinity

Nah, that's the f/1.0 trilogy coming in 2028. Save your pennies

navastronia · Apr 15, 2021

I'm excited for this lens despite now having no plans to buy it. I'm covered for glass unless the work I do changes.

What I really can't wait to see is a comparison between this lens (should Canon release it) and Sigma's $1500 version, since that's the only autofocus lens on the market that can compete with it, despite Sigma not offering it in an RF mount, yet.

Indeed. Or maybe "The Ones" when that group comes out.

I thought about "The Clean Dozens" as a play on 1.2 and "The Dirty Dozen" but...sigh...it's a bit of a reach.

Fast & Furious? We don't know if it's a Trinity or even more.

We'll, isn't the Sigma f/1.4? Canon's EF 35mm f/1.4L II was a fantastic lens I owned. Sony just released a 50mm f/1.2. Canon setting a new standard, I guess.

H. Jones · Apr 15, 2021

It's an interesting conundrum, I'm tempted by this lens, but I actually love the RF 35mm f1.8 so much as a travel/macro/lightweight lens that I haven't used my 35mm f/1.4L II in over a year and will probably sell it to put towards an R3. I'm not sure if I see a future where I have both the F/1.2 and the F/1.8, but perhaps Canon will find a way to change my mind.

Probably safe to assume this will probably end up around $2000-2200, like the RF 50 did.

Nah, there's an f/1.2, now, and it's not even enormously expensive (lower MSRP than the f/1.4 L II, in fact). It was released to almost no fanfare, which makes me wonder how much even photography enthusiasts care about the difference between f/1.4 and f/1.2 for a wide angle prime

We'll, I care... just because.

Same. It's absolutely a luxury lens more than something I personally need.

If I had been able to shoot weddings in 2020, I would have enjoyed having it because the bokeh is much smoother than Sigma's 35/1.4, which often makes harsh patterns of grass/trees in outdoor portraits, wide-open.

ToddK · Apr 15, 2021

It’s safe to say I have over 500k shots on my 35mmf1.4lii it’s my workhorse and doesn’t skip a beat. I’m ready for the 1.2 rf
