It would also be an important launch for Canon, as Sony already has the excellent Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM lens for its mirrorless cameras, alongside third-party options from the likes of Sigma.Īs Canon Rumors says, the long wait for the RF 35mm f/1.2 means that “Canon will sell as many as they can make for a long while”, so competition is expected to be fierce if the announcement does happen later this year. Canon’s RF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens, for example, currently costs $2,299 / £2,589 / AU$3,799.ĭespite this, an RF 35mm f/1.2L USM would still likely prove extremely popular, with its versatility and quality making for a tempting combination. If the lens does have an f/1.2 rather than f/1.4 maximum aperture, it would certainly be a pricey option. This number will include super-niche lenses like the RF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM and RF 1200mm f/8L IS USM we saw announced in February, so it’s good to hear that more mainstream (if pricey) options like the RF 35mm f /1.2L USM are likely en route. A new version for Canon RF-mount cameras should deliver improved image quality and autofocus performance, for a price.Ĭanon recently made the bold statement that it intends to expand its RF lenses for mirrorless cameras “at the same pace” as it has done recently for the next four years – which would mean around eight new lenses a year up to 2026. The L-Series label would also indicate professional build and optical quality.Ĭanon’s mirrorless cameras are currently lacking bright, prime lenses at wider focal lengths, with many photographers instead adapting their older EF versions that were designed for DSLRs. A 35mm focal length is suitable for shooting portraits, particularly environmental ones that include background interest, as well as street photography, travel, landscapes and weddings.Īn f/1.2 or f/1.4 aperture, hence, offers serious light-gathering powers that means the lens will be capable of attractively blurring backgrounds to help highlight subjects, and that image quality will be maintained in low-light situations. That means we should see the lens launch sometime between July and September, with the latter part of that period looking more likely.Ĭanon Rumors says there’s a chance that the lens will have a maximum aperture of f/1.4 rather than f/1.2, which would make it smaller and cheaper than an f/1.2 version, but this is unlikely to make much difference to its popularity.īright 35mm lenses are popular because they’re extremely versatile, while ‘L’ lenses (which stands for ‘luxury’) offer the quality that pros and keen amateurs need.
And according to the usually reliable Canon Rumors, the lens will “be hitting dealers later in Q3 of 2022”.
Canon fans could soon be treated one of the main lenses they’ve been waiting for, with fresh rumors predicting the long-awaited arrival of an RF 35mm f/1.2L USM later this year.Ī versatile 35mm f/1.2L lens has been on the wishlist of all kinds of keen photographers since the dawn of the Canon EOS R system.
