If you are tempted by the new Canon EOS R and RP cameras, but you think the lenses are definitely too expensive, Canon is preparing something for you. A whole series of more affordable glasses is coming.
Canon's mirrorless cameras have become a powerful alternative to Sony A7 cameras. Many professionals, including a huge number of wedding photographers, have always used Canon DSLRs because of the great colors and good lenses. Now a large proportion of these photographers are switching to Canon R and RP mirrorless cameras.
When it comes to cameras, the equipment is really refined. Upcoming premieres, including EOS R5 and R6, promise to be even more interesting. In practice, the problem when changing are lenses.
Full-frame Canon mirrorless cameras are a young system, so there are not many native lenses yet. You can support the adapter for SLR lenses, but it's a half measure. On the other hand, the offer of Canon RF lenses is really sensational in terms of quality, but so far Canon has targeted a very professional segment.
Examples are amazing constructions, such as RF 50mm F1.2L USM, RF 85mm F1.2L USM, and finally extremely bright RF 28-70mm F2L USM zoom. They are all extremely good, but at the same time very large and really expensive. This zoom is an expense of 13 thousand. zł.
What about people who are looking for more compromised but cheaper lenses? Canon will show six new proposals.
Six new Canon RF lenses are expected to appear in 2020:
- Canon RF 50mm f / 1.8 STM,
- Canon RF 85mm f / 2 Macro IS STM,
- Canon RF 70-200mm f / 4L IS USM,
- Canon RF 100-500mm f / 4.5-7.1L IS USM,
- Canon RF 600mm f / 11 DO IS STM,
- Canon RF 800mm f / 11 DO IS STM.
Two teleconverters will join them: Canon RF 1.4x and Canon RF 2.0x
What have we got here First of all, two fixed focal length lenses with high, but not extreme brightness. 50 mm f / 1.8 and 85 mm f / 2 provide parameters that will suffice for the vast majority of photography enthusiasts, even those with ambitions. They will also be a great addition to the current 35 mm f / 1.8 offer, and at the same time will be a cheaper alternative to their counterparts with f / 1.2 light.
We still have telephoto lenses. 70-200 mm f / 4 is a cheaper alternative to the top 70-200 mm f / 2.8. In turn, the 100-500 mm f / 4.5-7.1L lens promises to be an expensive construction ("L" in the name obliges) with a very universal character.
Two fixed focal length lenses with extremely long focal lengths: 600 and 800 mm with unusual f / 11 light promise to be interesting and unusual. Such low brightness will allow you to use a very simple optical construction, probably the same as we saw in last year's patent application . This should translate into an affordable price.
I am curious about the prices Canon will propose, but I expect a reasonable level. We will see all new lenses in 2020, which will make the Canon RF system a much more interesting proposition than before, especially for people who do not have an unlimited budget for photography.
