Canon might soon announce a RF 20-40mm f/4 STM pancake lens for the EOS R system.

The rumor surfaced on Weibo, and not much is revealed. Here the machine translated text:

It is whispered that a Canon RF 20-40mm F4 STM full-frame mirrorless pancake lens that emphasizes portability and convenience when shooting movies is under development (generally credible). RF mount video pancake lenses have also been rumored once before, but there is no new news since then.

Guess it is entirely possible for Canon to release such a lens. Time will tell. Stay tuned.

Will The White Unicorn Be Announced With Two RF-S Lenses? (Canon EOS R7, again)

My my, the third Canon EOS R7 rumor in two days. If that does not mean something.

Latest about the white unicorn has it that Canon might announced two RF-S lenses (i.e. lenses for the RF mount and an APS-C imaging sensor) along with the fabled Canon EOS R7. Be aware that neither “RF-S” not “EOS R7” are anything official. These are just monikers invented by the rumoring community.

Says the source of the rumor:

At this time, we do not know what the lenses will be, but we have had a Canon RF 18-45mm f/4-5.6 IS STM on our roadmap for a long time, could this be an RF-S lens?

This is a rather irritating rumor: It has been spread for one reason only: there is certain probability Canon might indeed announce such a camera (i.e. an EOS R model with APS-C sensor). Sooner or later it will happen and someone will be able to tell they told us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The White Unicorn Is Delayed Again (Canon EOS R7 with APS-C sensor)

Here are the latest about the Canon EOS R7, the white unicorn in the Canon rumors domain.

Rumored since the beginning of the EOS R era, the Canon EOS R7 is said to get announced within a few months, and then gets delayed again. We heard it being in the hand of selected photographers and undergoing field testing, then we heard it will be the next camera Canon is going to announce. But now we are told that it will come not earlier than Q4 2022.

The Canon EOS R7, featuring an APS-C imaging sensor, is a camera Canon will make sooner or later (likely, but we are still a bit skeptical). So why not start a rumor as early as possible. As bad as it can go, sooner or later the rumor will happen to be real. So far it has just been a continuous delaying of the possible announcement date.

Moreover, so far no specifications. Stay tuned for the next rumor. All Canon EOS R7 rumors are listed here.

Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L is rumored almost since the beginning of the EOS R system era. And it’s rumored for a good reason: their is no doubt Canon will eventually release this lens, sooner or later.

The Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L got a new mention, and it’s suggested the lens is already in the “hands of testers and marketing folks and recently appeared in an internal dealer roadmap”. There is a bit of uncertainty if it will be f/1.2 or f/1.4, though. Why not both?

All Canon rumors are listed here. Stay tuned.
