14-35mm f/4

No new camera today, but Canon has announced the new RF 14-35mm f/4L IS lens

There was no hint of the rumoured Canon camera announcement today. Not even a teaser or new info. But what we did get was the Canon RF 13-35mm f/4L IS USM lens. Announced today, the new lens is designed for Canon’s full-frame RF mount mirrorless system and presents a slightly lower budget alternative to the Canon 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM.

Coming in at $1,699, it’s not exactly budget-friendly, but if you’re willing to lose a stop, it’s significantly less expensive than the $2,299 the 15-35mm f/2.8 demands. That $600 price difference will be a big deal to those who want an ultra-wide walkaround lens and don’t need that extra stop of low light performance. It’s also smaller, lighter and takes 77mm screw-on filters.

Canon has apparently added a new RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM lens (4857C005) and EW-83P lens hood (4859C001) to its latest product list. The lens had been previously rumoured to be on the way, although the tweet from Nokishita now suggests that an announcement is imminent.

Nokishita also says that two other lenses with the codes 5050C005 and 5051C005 have been registered with overseas certification bodies, bringing the total of unreleased lenses to three. There doesn’t appear to be any news yet on what those lenses may be yet.
