Canon launches RF 14-35mm f4L IS USM wide-angle zoom lens

Canon Europe has today announced details of the next lens to be added to the RF lens line-up.

The RF 14-35mm f4L IS USM lens offers the widest focal length of the range so far, and is a compact fixed aperture wide angle lens that is lightweight and designed to Canon's high optical standards.

Offering 5.5 stops of image stabilisation – increasing to 7 stops when combined with Canon's in-body image stabilisation found on recent cameras such as the EOS R5 and R6 – this compact lens is versatile, smooth and quiet, thanks to the Nano USM focusing mechanism.

The RF 14-35mm f4L IS USM employs an advanced optical design of three ultra-low dispersion (UD) elements and three glass moulded aspherical lens elements, one of which is also UD. These aspherical components feature a non-spherical curvature which gathers light at a single point to reduce aberration and create pin-sharp images, replicating the image quality of a prime lens. 

Combined with Canon’s Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which prevent ghosting and flare, the RF 14-35mm f4L IS USM promises exceptional sharpness and contrast.

The RF 14-35mm f4L IS USM lens will be available from 26 August 2021 for a recommended retail price of £1,749.99 / €1,999.99.

Canon announces EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II as next R system evolution

Canon has today launched two new cameras for the EOS R system – the EOS R1, a new flagship model to take over from the EOS-1D X Mark III, and the EOS R5 Mark II, the next iteration of the ever-popular 5-series. The two camera share much more than just a launch date. They herald the arrival of the next generation of Canon's sensor-based focusing system – Dual Pixel Intelligent AF – as well as offering a raft of improvements over previous R-series cameras. The new features and the improvements alike are powered by a duo of DIGIC processors, one DIGIC X and one DIGIC Accelerator – and by Deep Learning, with the introduction of Action Priority AF for team-based sports. Both cameras sport brand new, purpose-made back illuminated stacked (BSI) sensors; the EOS R1 offers 24.2MP and the EOS R5 Mark II offers 45MP. Rolling shutter effect is reduced, significantly so on the EOS R1. In-camera there's also an up-scaling feature, giving users of both cameras the opportunity to increase res...

RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM announced

Canon Europe today announces the RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM, a new lightweight lens designed to be a next step for photographers wanting to upgrade from their kit lens.   Designed for a variety of shooting scenarios, from portraiture to street and travel, the fast f2.8 constant aperture throughout the zoom range is ideal for shooting in low light conditions, capturing everything from fading ‘blue hour’ light to dimly lit indoor scenes. Built with reliability in mind, this weather-resistant lens also allows for shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds in lower light environments with optical image stabilisation of up to 5.5 stops.   Measuring just 92.2mm in length when retracted and weighing 490g, this latest lens is among the lightest of its kind. With a significant weight reduction compared to previous lens options, it pairs perfectly with the smaller full frame EOS R-series bodies, such as the EOS R, RP and R8. The RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM offers swift adjustments to shutter spe...
