Canon officially announces the RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM and RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Surprisingly there are none(other than European retailers posting hands on), it seems like these are just announcements with no fixed shipping dates(US shops aren't listing ship dates while taking preorders). So I guess we will have to wait a little longer for full reviews from usual sources on interweb.

It seems likely. Its a way to keep prices down while still giving reasonable images. With inflation, lower priced lenses are a way to keep sales up. I like the size, I'm no longer comfortable packing my big L lenses around. I've already sold one, I may part with the others and go to lighter lenses. My cell phone camera does a good job, but its still worlds away from my R5 images.

Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Lens
Buy Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Lens featuring EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format, Aperture Range: f/4 to f/22, One Super UD and One UD Element, Four Aspherical Elements, SWC, Air Sphere, and Fluorine Coatings, Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor AF System, Weather-Sealed Construction, Rounded 9-Blade...
Unless the RF version allows use of a drop-in filter, the adapted EF version is more useful, and will almost certainly be cheaper, too.

There is a large practical value to the new 15-30mm. I personally won’t be buying it because I already have the 14-35 and the 15-35 that everyday I question my sanity for owning both. The price and weight make this lens make it a really compelling option for amateur and vacation photography. I remember the days of aspiring to own L-Series lenses one day. Starting off with APS-C and the 10-22mm. Let’s not forget that was an APS-C lens that cost MORE than this! It was $650 new and this is $550.
Reading into the bigger picture here with these lenses…we’re not going to see anything autofocus from third party lens manufactures for a loooooong time. Sigma/Tamron could drop a wide angle zoom for around this price and offer weather sealing and faster apertures and it would take a lot of market share.

I remember that thing! Never really liked the look of it to be honest. Looked like it’d bind up upon joining the lens to body.It was tried, AFAIK it never took off.
