Rumored RF lens roadmap update

[Canon Rumors Guy]

The next announcements from Canon will be a slew of lenses. We had reports of an announcement coming in late September, and that has obviously passed without anything being announced. We are very confident that a lot of new lenses will be announced between now and March 2024, but we’re still waiting for any solid

Still hoping for a 200-ish mm 1:1 macro lens in time for next spring.

If the 11-22 and 32mm actually arrive, I hope we’ll get an EVF-less RF body to go with it.
But that will have to be really well executed to tempt me away from my R8 with the 16,28 and 50mm primes for traveling.

TS 14mm sounds soooo gooood!

 

[COBRASoft]

Also looking forward to the ts14. It'll cost an arm and a leg though.

 

[Stig Nygaard]

This will be built off of the EF-M version, which was one of our favourite EF-M lenses.

Is there a reliable source for this? I had the impression it was mostly guessing that a wideangle zoom would be "a conversion" of the EF-M lens?
Personally I'm waiting for a wideangle zoom to replace EF-S 10-18mm or 10-22mm. In other words, something that goes down to at least 10mm (75% of the photos I shoot with my wideangle zoom are shot at 10mm). Preferable wider (it should be "easy" to make with the shorter flangedistance of R-mount).
Also hoping for some R mount replacement for the EF-S 15-85mm. Again at least 15mm wide in the short end.

Sigh, doesn't sound like I should expect anything like those any time soon :-/

An "RF-S super-telezoom" sounds interesting though. Do they really mean super-telezoom?

Doesn't matter, I'm a kraken...

 

[Hector1970]

Still waiting for the Canon RF-S 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM. I’d have thought this would have been announced in Sep 23. There is no suitable light RF-S wide angle lens around yet.

 

[David - Sydney]

Shouldn't it say that TS-R14mm should be released with the R5 mark II rather than mark 1?

 

[David - Sydney]

Is this rumour meant to be a followup to the 3rd party RF lens discussion?

 

[David - Sydney]

Of course, the roadmap should list when it was first put on the roadmap and then when it is announced... We need statistical data on the quality of rumours!

 

[Del Paso]

Is this rumour meant to be a followup to the 3rd party RF lens discussion?

Please, don't wake up a sleeping dog!

 

[Gino_FOTO]

If super-telephoto RF-S zoom end-up at 500mm f7.1 and not exceed 1100€, instant preorder by me.

 

[RajatMishra]

This means no second f2 lens which was rumored a while ago.

 

[Snapster]

Still needing those fast 1.4 primes that combine IQ, good build, portability and USM.

The current STM's are just lacking. And the L's are cumbersome for travel and hideously expensive to get in multiple focal lengths. Or mostly just missing entirely.

Where's the RF Fisheye lens?

An RF Zoom fisheye is coming [CR2]

We have been told that a zoom fisheye similar to the EF version will be coming for the RF mount. It will be an "all-new" optical design and will work just fine

[Rumours not rumors]

I would love a Mark II improved sharpness version of the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM which although not a bad lens is a bit soft for a L series lens especially compared to some other native RF lenses.

 

[Maximilian]

Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L USM // Canon RF 35mm f/1.2 or f/1.4L USM


No comment.

That's the best joke of the day. Thanks for making me laugh.
So glad, that I'm not in the market for those.
But if I was... and I can hear the roar coming from those eagerly waiting for those fast primes.

The RF-S, super telephoto zoom seems curious. I’m no optical designer, but I’ve always heard that, beyond about 200 mm or so, there is not much of a size or weight savings from the 1.6 CF image circle.

Being a crop user, I like the RF-S 11-18 rumor.

The 200-500 f/4L also sounds interesting, depending on its price. probably won’t be $3K because that’s where the current 100-500 is, but $10K is a nonstarter for me.

I am mostly happy with the RF100-400 on my R6 and R10, which is comparatively light already and very versatile for what I use it for.
Honestly though, I cannot say what specs a long APS-C tele would have to have that would make it attractive to me.
