It seems that two new Canon RF mount lenses might get announced very soon. Vendors appear to have them already added to listings.

According to the rumor, Canon might announce two new RF mount lenses very soon, the Canon RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM and Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 MACRO IS STM. Images of both lenses allegedly in vendor listings appeared on Imgur. Here they are:

Both images above could be faked, but we believe they are real and that both lenses will get announced soon.

The complete list of upcoming Canon gear is this one:

  • Canon EOS R100
  • RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM
    / EW-73E
    / E-67II
  • RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM
    / EW-65B
    / E-52II
    / LP1016
  • EW-73E
  • RF 135mm F1.8 L USM (expected 2022 Q4

Stay tuned.

Is Canon Set To Announce RF 15-30mm IS STM and RF 24mm f/1.8

A new rumor with uncertain reliability surfaced from the deep corners of the interweb. Two new lenses are rumored: RF 15-30mm IS STM and RF 24mm f/1.8.

The rumor originated on 5channel, an anonymous bulletin board. The full list of rumored gear:

  • RF15-30mm IS STM (f number unknown)
    • EW-73E
    • E-67II
  • RF24mm F1.8
    • EW-65B
    • E-52II
    • LP1016
  • EW-73E

The lenses seem to be for full frame imaging sensors and might be budget lenses, given that they are driven by STM. Hard to say if this comes from an insider or is just bs spread on an anonymous forum. It has to be said that there are two Canon patents that seem to refer to these lenses. The patent applications refer to a RF 24mm f/1.8 and an RF 16-30mm f/4-5.6.

Any idea?

Unlikely Rumor: RF 70-300mm f/2-4L IS And RF-S 33mm f/1L Lenses To Come

View Post

A new rumor surfaced, suggesting Canon might announce two lenses: an RF 70-300mm f/2-4L IS And RF-S 33mm f/1L.

We do not think the rumor is reliable. f/2-4 and f/1 (for APS-C sensors) sound very unlikely to us. The source claims:

  • Canon RF-S 33mm f/1L USM lens
  • Canon RF 70-300mm f/2-4L IS USM: 1.6kg zoom lens that still has a large aperture of f/2.4 at 150mm. The image quality at 300mm should be equal to or even better than the already discontinued Canon EF 300mm f / 4L IS USM lens.

According to the source, the RF-S 33mm lens is supported by an already spotted Canon patent application. We do not think this means anything.

Stay tuned…

This happens every time Canon releases a new camera: lots of fake rumors trying to capitalize on the hype. This time it is an alleged RF-S 22mm f/2 STM lens.

An image of an alleged RF-S 22mm f/2 STM pancake lens surfaced on a website already known to spread false rumors. Our sources confirmed the image is not real. You can see the fake RF-S 22mm f/2 STM lens on top.
