The next 2 VCM L prime lenses are scheduled for September
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Canon - PLEASE release some nightscape lenses for RF. Something to compete with the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG DN or the 14mm f/1.4 DG DN with those type of features and pricing. Or failing that, just release Sigma to produce those excellent lenses for the RF mount. How can it be that the company that released multiple astro optimized camera bodies in the past has now totally abandoned this market segment?

I picked up the 24 f/1.8 STM and for its size and price it's a solid performer. The bokeh isn't perfect but it still produces beautiful shots as you can see in my photo from my office in the sky. I don't travel with my Sigma 24 f/1.4 anymore due to its weight and need for the adapter. That being said I'm hoping this RF 24 f/1.4 can replace both of my lenses.

LOL, what an inane comment. Did you say that because the 24/1.8 STM, 35/1.8 STM, 50/1.8 STM and 85/2 STM are out of your budget, or because you just don't know they exist?

Forgot about those. Yes, Canon counts RF-S lenses so assuming that the 7.8mm one actually launches on time (it was a development announcement, but said fall availability), that could be 7 lenses. For Canon's lens counts, announcement date doesn't matter, they notch a lens when it starts shipping. The rumor indicated the two VCM lenses would ship this year and the other two would not, so that would be 5 lenses this year.
Less disappointing, but still disappointing to me.

I agree. I was expecting the 70-200Z and 200-500 mm f4 this year as well. Maybe 2025...?Same here. I thought they would launch the 200-500/4 with the Olympics and the R1 but it was not to be. I guess it is better for my wallet

That 20/2.8 is replaced by 16/2.8.But a sharp one, this time, unlike the EF 20mmf/2,8.
If Canon does the same as Sony Nikon, which is f1.8, then I don't see why not let Sigma to do the f1.4.
Or Canon could decide not to make a 20mm prime, Sigma do it with 50USD Canon tax.

Same here! But I'm not sure that I can justify the price vs. actuations it'll get... hmm...
The 50 1.2L is too big, too expensive and too special for me.
But a great tool for those who need f/1.2 over f/1.4.

Fully agree with neuro. But don't forget the 16/2.8 STM and 28/2.8 STM
Don't expect 3 lines of lenses from Canon, like in the EF past.
There'll be the L for those that want/need the highest IQ and AF performance. But for a price, sure.
And the STM lenses for those who want consumer grade primes.
As a third option, you can look for the Sigma primes, if you're using an APS-C EOS R camera.
I hope that Tamron will join here soon, too.

I am waiting for the 35mm f1.2. I feel the need to complete my trinity of 1.2 primes.
