Canon EOS R1 Specifications [CR2]
There has been recent talk around the web about Canon EOS R1 specifications, and we have been working to verify the information before posting them. It turns out, the specifications are “pretty close to reality” according to a solid source. Earlier this month we posted that the EOS R1 would be lower resolution that initiall […]
Godox launches the V1Pro TTL Li-ion Round Flash
Godox has officially launched the V1Pro TTL Round Flash for Canon and other manufacturers. This series of Godox speedlites is a lot more cost effective than the OEM speedlights from Canon that you can’t buy anyway. I own the V1 and I have been very happy with flash. I don’t use flashes all that often, […]
Canon Patent Application: Mixed Ultrawides and RF-S 10-20mm F4.0
In this patent application (2024-007656), Canon looks to create small ultra wides for both full frame and crop. One of the designs is curiously either similar or is the RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3. If it is the actual RF-S 10-18, then it also gives us the lowest back focus distance for the RF mount that Canon […]
Canon Patent Application: RF Super Telephotos
In this patent application (2024-009238) we have a series of telephoto primes for the RF mount. We know these are specifically for the RF mount because the back focus distance is under 44mm. Also, with a more relaxed back focus distance (greater than 20mm) they should work with Canon’s tele-extenders. While the current RF super […]
One thing: Taking stock of gear and when to let go or lean in: Digital Photography Review

AstrHori to launch RF 25mm f/2.8 2x-5x Macro Lens for $249
Chinese manufacturer AstrHori is bringing another niche and cool lens to the RF mount, this time in the form of an RF 25mm f/2.8 2x-5x Macro lens. While you can still use the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro lens on your RF camera, it’s still a much more expensive way to go. AstrHori 25mmF2.8 2X-5X […]
Canon Patent Application: Canon RF Super Zooms
Back in the Canon EOS EF days, Canon made several large super zooms, mainly the Canon EF 100-300mm f/5.6L, and the Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L USM. But outside of the consumer Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM, they haven’t dipped into that segment of the market too heavily yet. In this patent application (2024-005834), we […]
