Ultrawide L lens coming in the first half of 2023
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
There was a thread about possible fast primes (patents about a RF 16mm F1 and such) last year or maybe at the end of 2021, I believe.
Since the UWA have gotten wider, I'd think there is a chance Canon will release a 12mm prime as spiritual successor to the EF 14mm F2.8. I hope it features an F2 aperture, but F2.8 might work as well at this focal length.
I used to own the Sigma 20mm F1.4 for a brief time and I rented the Sigma 14mm F1.8, but I sold my copy because it was really heavy and thought the colors/ coma etc. were better with RF lenses, even the RF 35mm F1.8. Therefore, I've been hoping for a fast UWA prime ever since.

Get a used lens off Ebay for $1500. I use it for real estate gigs and find it invaluable. Pays for itself in a couple shoots. It is absolutely amazing for tight indoor shots. Both examples shot at 11m at f9. Those shots are impossible with 15mm as you would literally have to knock a hole in the wall of the rooms to fit the content in frame.
I previously used Samyang 14mm 2.8 but the manual focus verification (back then on 5D II live preview) was so time consuming and awkward in tight spaces it was taking double the time than what I did with the Canon per shoot. The ef-rf drop in adapter helps me control reflections via CPL and I can be in and out of a house within 30-40min using AF.

I just picked up the Laowa 12mm though so I'm going to ride that out. I'm pretty impressed with the image quality from that glass so far.

I am suspecting the IQ (especially in the far corners) will be much better in the RF lenses. That, to me, will prove to be the buying factor.

Perhaps it will be better, but that might require a correction profile, as with the RF 14-35/4L IS.
