Canon’s RF lens library has never stopped growing, with a wider range of standard lenses and more premium options for a wide range of photographers’ needs. However, there are still some lenses that professionals are looking for, and fortunately another one could be coming soon, with some major improvements.
Canon rumor is Report that Canon is getting ready to launch the RF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM soon, with prototypes of the lens to test as we speak. What’s particularly interesting is that the new version is about a third lighter and shorter than its EF predecessor, which is always good news for any sports or wildlife photographer who must carry a lens. large supertelephoto prime. As the second longest lens in the company’s lineup with an f/2.8 aperture, it’s quite popular among people like bird photographers who need plenty of parallel exposure with a dark aperture. The wide aperture allows them to keep the shutter speed fast. Without a doubt, an RF version of the lens would be very popular. There is no exact timeline for the lens yet, but it looks like Canon is aiming for the first half of 2023. I believe that with the EOS R1 also expected next year, Canon is placing a high priority on prime lenses. their supertelephoto at the moment. We’ll see what next year brings!
