Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS and RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS To be Released Within A Month

It seems that Canon is eventually releasing two of the “holy trinity” lenses they announced back in February 2019.

According to Nokishita the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS and RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS lenses will be available for pre-order within a month.

The last “holy trinity” lens for the EOS R that’s still missing would be the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, which we are pretty confident will also be released in 2019.

Prototypes or mockups of the upcoming lenses for the EOS R have been on display at CP+ 2019.

Canon Working On Eye Controlled Autofocus For Mirrorless Camera, Patent

Note: we are not talking about eye-autofocus here, but about eye controlled AF. Something Canon featured already on film cameras (e.g. Canon EOS-3).

Canon parent application 2019-129461 discusses method and technology for an eye controlled AF system on a mirrorless camera. Eye controlled AF focuses, and decides where the focus point is, according to the eye position.

More Canon patent applications are listed here. Some particularly interesting patent applications we think might get into production are these:
