New Canon 50mm Lens Coming Soon?

Posted on by

Canon is rumored to announce a new 50mm lens in the near future, the aperture of this new 50mm lens is still unknown. Canon already announced the new EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens last year, so this year they may update the 30+ year old EF 50mm f/1.4 lens, or the current EF 50mm f/1.2L.

We know that Canon has filed several new 50mm f/1.4 patents in the past few years. So, it is highly likely that the new 50mm f/1.4 will come out first.

Here are the rumored specs of the upcoming Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 II USM Lens:

  • Ring-type USM
  • DOF scale will remain
  • Closer minimum focusing distance than the current lens
  • No IS
