Complete List of Canon RF Lenses

This is the complete list of Canon RF Lenses. RF lenses offer higher quality, speed, and operation thanks to outstanding optical technology and design. Canon RF lenses are fast with even higher levels of optical clarity come as standard with the EOS R full frame mirrorless system.

The RF lens mount was developed by Canon and launched in 2018 to replace the EF mount. The Canon RF mount has the same 54mm diameter, but boasts a flange focal distance (the space between the lens and the sensor) of 20mm (24mm shorter than that of the EF/EF-S mount, thanks to the lack of mirror) and 12 electrical contacts (4 more than EF/EF-S, providing faster communication).

RF-mount lenses are not compatible with EF, EF-S or EF-M mount camera bodies. This means they are not backwards compatible with DSLR lenses that use the older EF mount. While Canon initially continued to develop several more EF mount DSLRs after the launch of the RF mount, they stated publicly at the beginning of 2020 that there would be no more EF lenses. Remember that the non-L lenses are not weather sealed. You can see the Complete List of Canon RF Lenses which is regulary updated.

Additional Coverage on Nikon Z5 Camera

Here are the latest reviews, samples and hands-on videos of the Nikon Z5 full frame mirrorless cameras. Before head over to the details let’s make a quick recap of the Z5.

The Nikon Z5 is made in Thailand but the name of the sensor manufacturer and the sensor pixel pitch is confidential. Nikon Z5 uses a different sensor from the Z6 and Z7 and it is actually a mid-level FX-format model. This means Nikon still have a room for a real “entry-level camera i guess. The full-frame mirrorless camera that looks and handles a lot like the Z6, and offers a lot of the same features.

The Nikon Z5 (AmazonB&HAdorama) uses a 24MP CMOS sensor, paired with an Expeed 6 processor, but it is not the same BSI-CMOS chip that we’ve seen in the Z6. The Z5’s sensor is probably closely related to the last-generation sensors in the likes of the Nikon D750. Despite its entry-level positioning, the Z5 offers a minimum exposure time of 1/8000sec, which enables wide-aperture shooting in bright conditions.

Anyway enough of the features of Z5, let’s dive into additional coverage. Continue reading “Additional Coverage on Nikon Z5 Camera”
