The Canon 35mm f/1.4L expected to be replaced in the near future, and after previous reports claimed the Mark II was being tested in the field by a select group of photographers, we’re now hearing that the lens is ‘done’.
A release date is unknown at the moment and is said to be dependent on the production rate of existing lenses, but will it not be too late?
Ever since Canon’s 24mm f/1.4L II was announced in 2008, prime lovers have been looking forward to the replacement of the 35mm f/1.4L as well.
The release of Sigma’s highly regarded 35mm f/1.4 ART lens has added further pressure on Canon, especially due to the estimated brutal loss of income incurred by its third-party competitor.
While rumors have been around for a while now, the latest info indicates the lens is currently being tested by a select group of lucky photographers.
The lens is said to become available within 6 months, making it slightly later than previously rumored but still on par with other releases.
