Canon releases two ultra wide angle L lenses: RF 14mm F1.4L VCM and RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM

Canon just released the highly anticipated compact 14mm 1.4 targets astrophotography, architecture and video:

  • high price of 2500€ in Germany
  • compact body same as other VCM series, with additional integrated hood (50% length of Sigma 14mm 1.4)
  • rear gel filter holder
  • weight under 500g (less than half of Sigma 14mm 1.4)
  • very advanced optical layout, lens elements, materials and coatings

Top to bottom a halo astro lens, I would expect reviews to confirm excellent coma control. Vignetting seems low from what I’ve seen so far.

For action, creative architectural and underwater photography, Canon translated the EF 8-15mm F4L to mirrorless: the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L is fisheye zoom lens:

  • diagonal from 12-13mm to 14mm
  • circular between 7 and 12mm
  • integrated filter holder (same as EF-RF adapter)
  • STM motor (like 10-20mm, still fast due to focal length)
  • 1900€ in Germany

Well, Canon serves now the wide angle mirrorless market pretty well. What I would like still, is a 12-24mm F2.8L with similar performance to the 15-35 F2.8L and a lower end 1.8 UWA.
