Canon has announced the development of six upcoming RF mirrorless lenses: two 85mm lenses, a 24-70mm f/2.8L IS, a 15-35mm f/2.8L IS, a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, and a 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS.
“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,” Canon says. “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.”
Here’s a look at each of the six lenses and Canon’s descriptions of them:
RF 85mm F1.2 L USM
“The 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.”
RF 85mm F1.2 L USM DS
“The 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 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.”
