CanonNews created an article going through the RF 800mm and the RF 1200mm lenses. Like many of you, the sticker shock of 17K and 20K was a surprise to me as well. This article looks into the MTFs and tries to find a good reason to actually spend the extra money. It really comes down to whether or not you have the desire with 400 or 600mm lenses to stack Canon extenders. With the “inherent” 2x extender built into the 800mm and 1200mm lenses, you have the ability to take that to 1600 and 2400mm – focal lengths you cannot…
Canon officially announces the RF 800mm F5.6L IS USM and the RF 1200mm F8L IS USM, with some eye watering prices of 17K and 20K respectively.

These are the first leaked pictures of the upcoming Canon RF 800mm F5.6L IS USM and the Canon RF 1200mm F8L IS USM. Both of these lenses have been on our roadmap for quite some time. The 1200mm is most definitely a normal optic (a monster lens at that) and not a catadioptric lens. From the image, they’re going to be announced on February 24th.
The Panasonic GH series has been a video powerhouse for what seems to be, well, decades. Panasonic has built on top of the legacy and released the GH6, which can do 5.7K at 60fps, built-in fan, and more. Basically a smaller sensor and non 8K version of the R5C ;) For $2199 it’s bound to be a hot seller. You can pre-order the GH6 here.
A reliable source just whispered (thank you!) that Canon is coming out with a new camera. The source said that the camera will be 75MP. This has been long rumored since the RF mount came out. It’s no surprise that Canon is coming out with a high-megapixel camera. Canon is pretty proud of the megapixel crown from the start of the digital era – they were not going to let Sony have that crown for long. No other details are known, but if I had to guess I would suspect it would be based upon the R5. We expect more…
OpticalLimits is one of my favorite review sites, and they recently completed their review of the Canon RF 16mm F2.8 STM. First, let’s face facts, the Canon RF 16mm is the cheapest ever full frame 16mm that has ever been produced by an original camera manufacturer. Ever. There are going to be some compromises to its performance.
The Nikkei newspaper has published an article detailing some of the difficulties the camera industry is going through in terms of supply shortages. In short, TLDR; It’s really bad.
Today the OM System launched a new OM-1 and several lenses. Olympus was my first ever camera system back in the film days, so I still have a soft spot for them. With the OM-1 camera body, OM has also launched two new professional category lenses, the ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II and the 40-150mm F4 PRO. OM System’s Press Release is below.
Digicame-Info who aggregates rumors and information and typically has reliable information has mentioned today that the RF 800mm and RF 1200mm have been added to overseas dealers lists recently. This usually means that the lenses are very close to becoming available. These lenses have been on our roadmap for quite some time.
