Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM coming tomorrow at Cinema EOS event
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Me too and I also hope that Canon will start using their new hot-shoe interface a lot more, the current offerings (mic, flash, flash controller) don't seem to use it optimally.
Wherea are the camera-body-powered GPS, the wireless timecode sync and the multi-body remote control units?

Fun! It looks like it’s using the same monitor as the current camera, but it must also have the multifunction hot shoe on the handle for the microphone. I see a secondary port below the lens mount that is new.
It will be interesting to see what is the under the hood, but Canon hasn’t changed much about the camera design.

35 mm is too narrow a field of view for most astro work. You would need at least 24 mm with wider ultimately preferred. Can’t say the last time I tried an astro shot at 35 mm. It starts to introduce all sorts of issues with star trails and you can barely get a foreground and the galactic core in a shot at 24 mm.

Forget it, Sony multi-function hotshoe has been out for years and they haven't made a clone of it.
And reverse-engineer EL-5 shouldn't be that difficult, yet no one came out with an alternative. Those 3rd parties don't want to deal with legal issues from Sony Canon Nikon.

Best to let Trevor Dobson know then… most of his are at 35mm and some using 50mm.

John Rutter did one using 85mm but will never attempt it again!

As you highlighted, the Sony lens also doesn’t have IS in addition to not being 15mm. The greatest area for improvement for me would have to be VIGNETTE performance. The 15-35 is an absolute joke here. I personally bought the 14-35 f/4 when I want a more compact lens. More often than not, I’m using an ultra wide lens at f/8 too. For gimbal work I’ve been using the RF 16mm f/2.8, which actually works incredibly well for video. I’m not the biggest gimbal user on the planet, though, and I know that a zoom lens is greatly preferred here for versatility. I mostly use mine for real estate walking tours so the 16mm and 24mm silver ring lenses work great for that.

I dislike the 16mm with a passion. It flares badly, not sharp and vignettes bad. I will avoid it for professional work again. Unfortunately there are not much options for it. I would gladly accept a triple the weight but sharp 16mm....

I don't think they meant inexpensive but less expensive than people expect an RF L lens to be.

With a 1.2 family on the horizon, it makes sense that the 1.4's will be priced in the middle. Money is very tight and Canon wants all they can get of what is left over. At the annual stockholders meeting, the CEO said this year was going to be good, but margins would be lower, so competitive pricing has been baked in for a while and also explains the sustained discounts we have seen on camera bodies.

That's not too bad for a recent Canon flash, I wonder how it compares to the EL-5, which can be had for about €100 more nowadays.
