Canon Might Have An RF-mount Fisheye Zoom In The Pipeline

Rf 5.2mm F/2.8L
View Post

Nothing surprising here. Why should Canon not work on a fisheye zoom lens for the EOS R system.

Rumor has it that…:

[…] a zoom fisheye similar to the EF version will be coming for the RF mount. It will be an “all-new” optical design and will work just fine on both crop and full-frame cameras.

For the time being, Canon only released the RF 5.2mm f/2.8L USM Dual Lens Fisheye for the EOS R system. The RF 5.2mm aims at virtual reality applications.

As usual, take it with salt. Unless the usual few Japanese sites confirm it, it’s just educated speculation.

Stay tuned, or even better: don’t, and get out taking pics.

Canon EOS R1
View Post

It seems that during the G7 in Japan a Canon camera was used that no one can identify. So why not suggest it could be the Canon EOS R1?

The heat started on Twitter, where some users posted images of the mysterious camera. Have a look:

Then someone posted a clip where you can see the camera.

It looks indeed like no other Canon camera we know. Might this be the Canon EOS R1? What are your thoughts?

We broke the news about a possible Canon EOS R100 time ago. Now it appears the camera might get announced soon.

It seems 5chan has become the new source for rumors. Everyone takes from there, but the usual suspects do not quote it. Believe me, 90% of the rumors come from there.

Like this one. The Canon EOS R100 is actively discusses, with some leaks we think might be real. Have a look about what is rumored (at least the name “EOS R100” seems to be sure):

  • RF 28mm F2.8 STM lens – $299
  • Lens Hood EW-55: $45
  • EOS R100 Body – $479
  • EOS R100 RF-S18-45 IS STM Lens Kit – $599
  • EOS R100 Double Zoom Kit (18-45mm & 55-210mm) – $829

The Canon EOS R100 might be the first RF-mount camera that will actively take the place of the EOS M lineup. We’ll see.

A new super expensive RF 200-500mm f/4L IS lens for the EOS R system? It looks like according to the latest rumor emerging from the interweb of rumor mills.

Says the source of the rumor:

Canon’s EF 500mm f/4L IS USM II is going to be a zoom for the RF mount first. We have confirmed that a Canon RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM will likely be coming in Q4, or perhaps in Q1 of 2024 ahead of the Canon EOS R1.

The Canon RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM will not come with a built-in teleconverter.

Another RF lens that will cost like a small car.
