Interesting because i heard exactly the opposite from a pro photographer who sold the Sigma 180mm macro for the Canon version and said it was not worth it.īut wouldn't you rather need an RF 800mm macro for cobras and other friendly reptiles? :DFor really dangerous snakes(large vipers) have been using EF 100-400mm II and with mirrorless I will get RF 100-400(saw one of birder carry that lens recently so gave it a try on dragonflies, found it highly impressive for its price). Looking at the block chart.that's got some seriously funky glass shapes in there.that isn't going to be cheap or light weight! I like the idea of a super wide f1.2 prime lens. That would level the 'features' playing field between ef and rf variants. If canon were smart with their TSE-RF lenses, they would include a rear drop in filter slot. However, the EF version is so niche it still commands a high price.I shudder to think what Canon would charge for an RF version! But it could do with newer optics, coatings, AF motors and yes.a modern macro capabile IS system. It's not until you try the Sigma, Nikon, tamron etc until you realise how good the Canon variant is in comparision. It's far better than any other variant of it's type from any other brand.

The ef 180mm f3.5 L macro is another of those niche lenses. These will never see the light of day as mk II ef lenses.so my only hope is that thye will be RF lenses instead.

There are a few niche ef lenses that really do need a warm over. I personally can't see what a RF version can bring to the table except that it gives Canon permission to kill off the old ef version in 5 years or so. It's very small and light.and with a ef-rf drop in filter adapter.I can use ND filters with it.

It's ability to cover fully circular 8mm and full recilinear 15mm fisheye views is unique. However it needs judicious use in a collection of photographs. I bought the ef 8-15mm L fisheye as soon as it was available and it's a really fun lens that is suprisingly versatile. Once we have a bit more information about the coming zoom fish-eye, we will add it to our roadmap. The MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x had a lot of fans, and we expect Canon to address such a lens in the future, but we haven't heard anything about it from any sources. Though a timetable for launch is still a mystery. We know new tilt-shift lenses are coming and they will somehow have autofocus, and I received further confirmation of these lenses coming in the last couple of weeks. One of the strength of the EF line-up was the “niche” lenses such as the zoom fisheye, the MP-E 65mm and probably the best tilt-shift line-up of any manufacturer. We haven't seen too many people using it for stills applications. The EF 8-15mm f/4L USM was quite a popular niche lens, and we'd expect a similar focal length and speed in the RF variant.Ĭurrently, Canon only sells the RF 5.2mm f/2.8L USM Dual Lens Fisheye for VR/AR applications, at least that is how it is being sold and marketed. It will be an “all-new” optical design and will work just fine on both crop and full-frame cameras. We have been told that a zoom fisheye similar to the EF version will be coming for the RF mount.
