    2. This lens looks so cute :) In a couple of years I'll probably get one of these lenses and start playing around or create videos from special celebrations or something.

      needs one of those masks with eyebrows, nose and glasses.
    4. I wonder if this and the RF-S 7.8mm f/4 are the only first party RF-S lenses Canon will release this year.

      There is another zoom coming and a prime. I don't know the focal lengths. A few people have said to me that it doesn't look like Sigma and those companies are who Canon is going to rely on to fill the APS-C lineup. On the full frame side, Canon's concerns are about performance with next generation cameras.
    5. I thought to replace my R7 with an R6 which has some advantages in ergonomics too. But ... it is a 1.6 Teleconverter and I like R7 with EF 100-400 ii, a quite usable and high IQ solution and the auto levelling feature which I miss in the R6 ii.
      This lens might be a good reason too to keep the R7!
    11. Nice, so now even the lower budget porn, can switch to VR productions.
      The porn market pays promptly in cash. Also can make or break a product. One of the biggest reasons Betamax failed was that Sony wouldn't allow it to be used for porn. The VHS crowd had no such qualms.
