First of all, I think there's more to this than just Canon wishing to reduce the EF lineup down to what is absolutely necessary.  The combination of Canon wanting people to move to the RF lineup, and also the significant difficulty in manufacturing because of supply chain issues have caused any plans to be accelerated. It's actually even worse than what PetaPixel is stating, as if you look on ...]]>Sun, 13 Feb 2022 11:47:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-continues-to-quietly-slim-down-the-ef-lineup-7https://www.canonnews.com/canon-announces-the-canon-rf-52mm-f28l-dual-fisheye-4 Canon has formally announced the Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8L Dual Fisheye.
