A new Canon 50mm lens coming? [CW3]

Ef 50mm F/1.2
View Post

Canon is rumored to announce soon a new 50mm lens. The question is: what kind of 50mm lens, and which of the Canon 50mm lenses will get replaced?

Canon currently has three 50mm lenses on offer: the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM (introduced recently, replaced the EF 50mm f/1.8), the EF 50mm f/1.4 (introduced over 30 years ago), and the EF 50mm f/1.2L.

The rumor suggests that despite what you may think, it might not be the EF 50mm f/1.4 that gets replaced but the EF 50mm f/1.2L (released in 2001). Honestly, I do not know which one may get replaced. The EF 50mm f/1.4 appears to be the obvious candidate but anything is possible, especially since Sigma introduced their outstanding 50mm f/1.4 lens. It may also be possible that Canon will feature STM or Nano USM technology on a new 50mm lens.

Stay tuned…
