Canon Announces Four New Fast Prime Lenses
Photographers who have long been waiting for Canon to extend its L-series lens lineup are in for a treat. The company is rumored to be working on four new fast prime lenses that will offer a range of wide-angle and normal-length focal lengths. These lenses are expected to be released in the first half of 2024.
Expanding the RF Mount Lineup
The introduction of these four new prime lenses would be a significant step forward for Canon’s RF mount system, which has been steadily growing in popularity since its launch in 2018. The RF mount is a relatively new mount, and there are currently a limited number of L-series prime lenses available. The new lenses would give photographers more options for shooting in low light and creating beautiful bokeh.
A Versatile Quartet of Lenses
Canon RF 14mm f/1.4L USM lens
The rumored lenses include a 14mm f/1.4, 24mm f/1.4, 28mm f/1.4, and 35mm f/1.4. The 14mm f/1.4 is expected to be the fastest ultra-wide-angle prime lens ever made by Canon. With its wide field of view, this lens would be perfect for capturing breathtaking landscape shots, architectural marvels, and expansive group portraits.
Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L IS USM lens
The 24mm f/1.4 and 28mm f/1.4 are expected to offer a natural field of view, which makes them ideal for everyday shooting. These lenses would be perfect for street photography, environmental portraits, and documentary-style work. Both lenses are also rumored to feature Canon’s image stabilization technology, which would ensure sharp images even in challenging lighting conditions.

The 35mm f/1.4 is expected to be the most versatile of the four lenses. Its focal length is suitable for a wide range of subjects, from landscapes and portraits to street photography and documentary work. This lens would also be perfect for low-light shooting thanks to its fast f/1.4 aperture.
