p.1 #20 · p.1 #20 · Will Canon ever make a high quality (L) 50mm lens that’s not the size of the 1.2? | |
I have wanted an updated 50 1.4 for a long time. Sadly, I don't think that Canon believes there is a market for one. I think we will have the "statement" lenses, and then the affordable ones. And honestly, the RF 50 1.8 is quite a good lens optically and mechanically (for its price) and will meet most needs.
I will say that Canon is doing a better job creating appealing non-L primes in the RF lineup than they did for EF, especially on the wider end. For example, they had nothing like the RF 16 2.8 for EF. Assuming it proves to be good, the new RF 24 1.8 is much more appealing than the EF 24 f/2.8 IS at a stop and a third faster. I also find the RF 35 1.8 to have better rendering than the EF 35 2.0 IS.
