Official Canon Press Release
A GROWING FAMILY: CANON COMMITS TO THE FUTURE OF ITS RF MOUNT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIX NEW LENSES FOR THE EOS R CAMERA SYSTEM
New Lenses Under Development Will Cover a Broad Range of Focal Lengths
MELVILLE, N.Y., February 13, 2019 – Continuing with the message of “optics at its core,” Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc., is developing six new Canon RF series lenses, further displaying the company’s commitment to the EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera system. Redefining the possibilities, Canon’s EOS R camera system and existing lineup of RF lenses provides the necessary tools for photographers and videographers to enhance their skills and shoot creatively. In 2019, Canon’s already well-established optical lens heritage will celebrate a production milestone of 140 million EF and RF lenses and the celebration starts with the development announcement of these six lenses.
The six new RF lenses under development include:
RF 85mm F1.2 L USM
RF 85mm F1.2 L USM DS
RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM
RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM
RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM
RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM
“Canon firmly believes that optics are the critical piece of the puzzle that enables photographers to create the still and video images they desire to capture,” said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “That belief will continue as the company further builds-out the family of RF lenses for the EOS R camera system. With this collection of new lenses, users will have an abundant option of lenses for the EOS R system and the ability to choose the right tool for each opportunity.”
All six RF lenses under development are built around Canon’s new RF mount, which features a large 54mm diameter and shorter back focus distance than on current EOS DSLR cameras. Each lens individually fulfills the needs of users ranging from amateur and advanced amateurs to professional photographers and videographers. The new RF mount allows for fast, light, and high-performing optics. In addition, the RF mount enhances communication and power transmission between the lens and camera body, which has helped Canon to achieve the world’s fastest autofocus speed for a full-frame mirrorless camera system.
The details of the new Canon RF lenses under development are as follows:
The Canon RF 85mm F1.2 L USM is a large aperture mid-telephoto prime lens. It offers excellent performance for advanced and professional portrait photographers and is a widely popular focal length and aperture speed combination for users.
The Canon RF 85mm F1.2 L USM DS, with Defocus Smoothing lens technology, is a uniquely designed lens that offers a combination of beautifully smooth defocused bokeh. Featuring a super-fast F1.2 aperture, the lens will help produce breathtaking portraits that will surely stand out from the crowd.
The Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM is a high-performance, standard zoom lens for professionals and photo enthusiasts alike – ideal for shooting portraits, landscapes, documentaries or weddings.
The Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM, offering a wide angle and fast aperture in a single package, is ideal for a variety of shooting applications including architecture, interiors or landscapes.
The Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM is a must-have for any professional photographer, especially for those shooting weddings, sports or wildlife. This lens is a great all-around, high-speed, medium telephoto zoom lens and does well to round out any camera bag.
The Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM is the ideal lens for amateurs and advanced amateurs who love to travel, no matter the destination. The versatile, all-purpose lens offers a range of focal lengths for capturing extraordinary shots in a form factor that is both compact and lightweight.
