Canon releasing the Canon RF 85mm 1.2L USM first
It seems according to Nokishita that the Canon RF 85mm 1.2L is coming as soon as next month sometime.
It's nice to see that they are spreading the lens releases if this is true, and it's not all going to be "sometime in 2019" meaning this coming December ;)
There's no indication if this is just the Canon RF 85mm 1.2L USM or does it also include the 85mm 1.2L USM DS as well. According to Canon, there is very little in the way of optical changes in between the two lenses because Canon uses a coating on the DS lens for the apodization.
In case you forgot, Canon pre-announced quite a few lenses in February;
- RF 85mm f/1.2L USM
- RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS
- RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM
- RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM
- RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM
- RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
