It looks like Samyang is about the announce an RF-S AF 12mm f/2.0, yes.. with autofocus

Imagine if canon rehoused the 22/f2 pancake? Now THAT would be some news (dare to dream, they say..

)

I still use that lens a ton, its one of canons best offering for crop lenses like ever ever + ever more. Bigger chunker lenses like the sigma primes are an order of magnitude bigger.

I wonder if these licensed lenses will retain compatibility with future RF bodies in say 5-10 years time?

When we will get to see full frame RF autofocus lenses from third party manufacturers?

The camera automatically crops the resulting images to APS-C size.

The downside is the same as any crop, less image area used means proportionally higher image noise.

What I'd like to see is the camera store in RAW the full image circle recorded on the sensor. I can always do my cropping later. In fact I have two calendar clients, one who likes things 4:3 and the other who prefers 16:9. I'm thinking I wouldn't be losing much even if I used RF-S lenses on my full-frame bodies.

Not possible for Canon，I think Canon is the only one force native APS-C lenses into APS-C mode. Nikon and Sony that I've use allows APS-C lens in FF readout mode. So some APS-C lenses with bigger than APS-C coverage but not fully FF can do small crop to get effective focal lengths that sits in-between.

Tamron has announced that their RF 11-20mm f2.8 lens will be available from December 12 2024.

Except for the f/2 part...

The Samyang 12mm is a well regarded astro lens and the F2 is a huge benefit there, together with the minimal coma.

But then there's TTArtisan 10 mm f2, at UWA I usually ended up in situations that AF is not needed...

Sigmas offering is f2.8 so the Samyang is one stop faster. Canons lens starts at f4.5 so the difference is over 2 stops (2 1/3 stops exactly?!). There is a huge difference if you want to shoot the night sky or cities at night time.

At night I do prefer tripod&slightly slower shutter. Since I'm well aware I couldn't do low iso+high SS shooting.
