Canon will release a trio of RF mount wide angle L prime lenses in the first half of 2023

[Coffy83]

No news regarding the wide angle primes??Really looking forward to these…

Got my RF line up nearly complete apart from a wide angle prime. Got an Irix 15mm, Canon ef 24mm 1.4 L, Tamron 35mm 1.4 and I am ready to sell all 3 of them for one new wide RF L prime. Hoping for a 28mm 1.4 but will also settle for a 24mm 1.4.
Just doing portrait work and the occasional landscape shot. Got the 50mm 1.2 and now the 135mm 1.8 as I sold my RF 70-200 2.8.

So 28mm, 50mm, 135mm would be my holy trinity. Fingers crossed they'll soon announce something!

Was wondering that myself.

Speculative:
We were all hoping for a Q1 announcement and mid summer release. Now it's looking more like a Q2 announcement and early fall release.

Considering that it usually three months from announcement to shipping, if Canon doesn't announce them somewhere within the next month, they won't be available in the summer time...

 

[shadowsports]

Thats correct. If they aren't announced by June in Q2, then the date will just continue to slip. Plus ship dates have been slipping anyway Example EL-5

Sigma already had a 24-35 f/2 for Canon EF.

The world's first F2 constant aperture zoom lens for full-frame DSLR cameras.

Which is optically and mechanically a superb lens. If only it hadn't such an erratic AF on Canon's DSLRs...

Plus, while it’s technically a zoom lens I’d say that a 0.46x zoom range is practically not really a zoom.

I wonder how many people have bought both the 24/1.4L and 35/1.4L, or both the RF 24/1.8 and RF 35/1.8. I’d bet very few.

I plead guilty!

I'm happy enough about 14mm f/1.4L but my heart goes out to @roby17269

Far, far away, I hear somebody crying bitter f/1,2 tears...

When there's f1.2....they will ask for f0.95...and if there's f0.95, they'll complain lack of AF....and then onto size, weight, badge, shape, smell, sniff test

Adapt on RF bodies will work the best.

I've got both EF L mark 1...However I've to be honest I don't bring both at the same time....Some compact 24-35 f2 for RF mount would be nice.

Thank you kind sir
My heart is closed right now. I refuse to believe this rumor (the part about the 35mm at least) until we get a more solid one.
If true I may vote with my wallet, as I do, and not buy it . Maybe the 28 will be a nice new thing to try.
But I really want the 35 and for it to be a 1.2
In the meantime, still waiting for my 10-20 f/4 and 200-800 to ship...

You are not a kind sir

You misunderstood my noble intention, I commiserate with you. Your pain and sorrow are mine!

In that case, I retract my slandering statement
