Any budget Cinema lenses in the making?
I know, I know, there\'s no such thing.
I don\'t mind inferior quality, just get in the hands of budget newbie. I know other cheap brands exist, but wouldn\'t mind a complete budget set from Canon. Starter pack if you will. 14mm, 35mm, 50mm, 135mm.

Chinese mfrs. are your friends. For Canon, a ‘budget cinema lens’ is the RF 24-105mm f/2.8 Z.

I\'ll be selling my 50mm 1.2 for that 1.4, the 35 VCM is a nice ass lens (especially as a hybrid shooter leaning more towards video). Couldn\'t manual focus video on the regular 1.2 to save my life, the 35 is so well dampened it\'s a night and day difference.

I think the VCM lenses are the closest you will get to a budget cinema lens if you want Canon

Canon needs some better options in the large tele space that aren\'t as limiting as the current offerings are limiting.
Iim not sure a reincarnation of the 200-400mm F4 in the 200-500 F4 is the answer it will be too big too heavy and ending up in niche situations.

Nikon are killing it with their more interesting offering like the
600 F6.3
180-600mm F5.6-6.3
Even the 500mm F5.6 PF lens

Its great canon are experimenting with these higher F stop lenses but here in the UK where its dark and grey most of the time and most of the wildlife is small and hidden away in trees these F9-11 lenses... although work can be compromising unless your in ideal scenarios which makes the sweet spots for these lenses are small.

The 100-500mm is a good compromise at 7.1 but 5.6 or 6.3 in the 600 range would be great 500mm on full frame is still limiting for small birds and 800 is more in the right ball park. If the 200-800 was good at 800 I wouldn\'t mind the F9 but from what ive read you need to stop it down to get better sharpness.

In the mean time we still have the EF glass but im sure canon will be discontinuing parts supply for the MKII versions in the not too distant future.

Out of those lenses, only the 50 f/1.4 sounds interesting to me.

Same thought here.
Come on Canon, announce the RF180L IS Macro already!

I'd love to see it but I think, Canon has other/higher priorities first.

With macro lenses i prefer absolute best image quality. I doubt a zoom macro can be as good as a prime.

Same here. In addition, I suppose a macro zoom would be to heavy and too slow in AF because of the moving elements.

What makes your personal want into a need for Canon? If Nikon is 'killing it' with those more interesting lenses that Canon doesn't offer, why is their market share not increasing?

Meanwhile, I have little doubt that Canon's f/11 DO lenses that go for <$1K are selling far better than Nikon's more expensive yet faster PF offerings.

Mainly to fulfil the wildlife category that Nikon is serving well.

TBH I dont know why you have to be so snarky with every reply, it's really quite tiring tbh almost every post of yours is the same.

It is perfectly acceptable to want more from what canons RF range is offering. Ive been shooting canon for 20 years and not interested in changing but observing another brand making good product is also positive, competition is positive.

Im one of many asking for other options watch wild Alaska, Duade Patton, Jan Wagner etc etc there are a lot of people wanting different options for wildlife.

You are right, Tom. The Nikon Z 400mm f/4,5 VR S is in stock at my local dealer in Frankfurt am Main - the one with the peace pipe - for 2800€. If Canon would offer such a lense and if it would be in stock i would sell my RF100-500L and purchase the prime at once.
