Canon Needs Third-Party RF Lenses To Tempt New Photographers

Is Canon being a snob about third party lenses for the RF mount?

The new mounts launched in the full-frame mirrorless boom of 2018 are finally beginning to see third-party autofocus lens options. And yet, as companies like Tamron announce its first Z Mount lens, third-party optics for the Canon RF system remain conspicuously absent. For a system with limited budget lenses for recently launched bodies like the EOS R10, third-party RF lenses could help fill a…

Hey! I just stumbled upon your blog and i'm amazed by your pictures!

Would you be willing to share what kind of camera you use? My brother wants to get a new/better one for nature photographing and we don't really know which one to choose. If you don't want to tell that'd be absolutely unterstandable!

Thank you so much for posting your pictures!

Hi there, and thank you for your kind words!

I don't mind talking about the camera(s) I use, in fact I've done it many times right here on my blog. My go-to camera is a Canon Eos 80D. I also have a Canon 6D Mark II. I love these cameras, but they are kind of old-ish and Canon have moved on to more advanced cameras even for the amateur/enthusiast. And I would say that it's really the lens that makes the biggest difference on cameras in this price range. I use a zoom 100-400 mm (Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM), but I also frequently use a 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens for flowers, plants and insects. But as with the camera, these lenses has since been upgraded, too.

And while I love Canon, I know others who prefer Nikon or Sony. I recently learned from a fellow photographer here on Tumblr that you no longer can use third party lenses on the Canon cameras with the new RF mount which is a shame.

Well, I don't think this was helpful at all, but at least I did answer what kind of camera I use. Hopefully you will find something that matches your brother's camera needs - nature photography should always be encouraged! :)

So this Christmas my girlfriend got me this cool adapter that lets me adapt Canon FD lenses to my Canon EOS R. So basically I can use vintage film lenses on my mirrorless. Honestly I’m in love with vintage glass, I have only a hand full of them, but I never spent more than $50 on any lens and the images that come out are amazing. I had a couple of my photography buddies completely blown away that I’m using vintage lenses. Here are two of my favorites, my 50mm f1.8 and my 135mm f2.5. Both super clean, take amazing photos, the bokeh is butter and you can’t tell if this is a modern lens or a vintage lens. My 50mm is a perfect for not only portraits, but great for street photography. My 135mm is perfect for nature and wildlife photography. Not something I do a lot of, but would definitely love to do more of it, but mainly because I own a 135mm for it. I hope to get a 300mm one day as well. Now there is some cons and pros for using vintage lenses. Pros are, not as expensive as modern lenses, like I said I never spent more than $50 on a lens. There are some great ebay deals out there, there are some very expensive FD lenses, that run in the $1,000’s, but those were for making movies. You’re not buying cheap plastic, all these lenses are well made and made of metal. You don’t have to use Canon name brand lenses, as long as it has the FD mount, there are other brands out there that are nice in price and still have the same image quality. Now for the Cons, all the lenses will have to be manual focus, now that is pretty obvious to a lot of photographers, but this is something a lot of photographers will not like and will miss autofocus. Taking videos, there is no auto stabilization, so you will need a gimbal and you will have to manually focus as recording. It can be done and I’m sure that will not bother others, you can buy an adapter with built in autofocus, but that’s $300 for that. Another thing is shopping for the right lens, now I normally recommend ebay, just make sure you read the description. Since these lenses are old, they can develop dust in the glass and fungus. Also I have read where some actually have mold in them, but message the seller if they’re description is vague on the lens. Another con is these will make your weather sealed or weather proof camera not weather sealed or proof. I definitely learned that the hard way one photoshoot. I got a little moisture on my sensor one day when it was raining, thinking I would he good because I’ve shot before in the rain with my RF lens and was completely fine. Now for the last con, some of these lenses are heavy! My 135mm is super heavy, because they are made a of metal and not the cheap plastic you spend $1,000’s of dollars on. So trying hold focus on hold the lens is a sometimes a struggle. I linked the adapter up top of this post and they sell other adapters for other cameras as well.

The Canon EOS R7: How Deep Learning AI and Advanced Stabilisation Enhance Every Shot

Taking photos while moving or while you’re on an unstable surface can be challenging,  often producing blurry shots. Thankfully, imaging technology has advanced with solutions like image stabilisation. When combined with deep learning and AI, it delivers enhanced shots no matter the lens you use. This is one of the best features of the Canon EOS R7 and its In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS). Top camera shops in Dubai already offer this model. It’s highly recommended if you’re constantly worried about blurry images, no matter what you’re shooting.

Stay steady

The Canon EOS R7 takes image stabilisation to the next level. When paired with an RF lens featuring optical IS, the camera's in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) works together to deliver an impressive 7 stops of shake correction. This is particularly helpful for maximising image sharpness with the RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lens. The EOS R7 also boasts the world's highest level of image stabilisation at 8.0 stops. This means even when you're using non-IS lenses, including fast primes, the camera's wide lens mount allows the IBIS to effectively combat camera shake.

Get creative

Top camera shops in Dubai can give you a first-hand experience of the Canon EOS R7’s advanced image stabilisation feature when you try it. You’ll realise how easier it will be to shoot handheld with several seconds of shutter speeds to blur moving objects while the rest of your subjects are pin-sharp.

EOS R7 also has a Panoramic Shot scene mode that relies on the IBIS to compensate for swinging movements as you pan the camera in any direction. As a result, you get outstanding and breathtaking panoramas with fewer motion-induced misalignments.

Tripod optional

EOS R7’s IBIS can be a helpful feature to sports and wildlife photographers who use telephoto focal lengths. They can opt not to use a tripod and confidently shoot handheld, even in low light. They can count on the collaborative image stabilisation feature to deliver the sharpest images possible. In addition, the IBIS system’s tilting action improves shots by eliminating sloping horizons in scenic images.

Discover the EOS R7 today.

Visit a National Store near you to try the Canon EOS R7. It’s among the best camera shops in Dubai and is authorised to carry the products of globally recognised brands like Canon.

I've been contemplating selling / trading in my Canon t6i and my ef lenses, as well the mount adapter to MPB and getting an rf 100-400mm lens (plus money back),

I have three rf lenses for my r10 currently so giving up my ef lenses isn't an issue especially since I rarely used most of them anyway (and I hate the mount, it's annoying and I never remember to put it in my bag).

But there's this little part of me that is afraid to let it go for sentimental reasons - it being the camera that I really started out on; however I really believe I've gotten all I can out of it and it's just time to move on.

Has anyone used the rf 100-400mm and is it worth getting? Or should I just take the money and save it towards a different telephoto lens?

Hypnotic Photos, Gigantic Lens: Canon RF 800mm F5.6 L Review

C'mon, admit it, you know you want to see what images from $20k worth of camera and lens can create.

Extreme telephotos aren’t easy to find. A reach like 800mm was just a dream when full frame mirrorless cameras first started trickling out. But the new Canon RF 800mm f5.6 L IS USM changes that, bringing a big reach to the eye-AF-equipped bodies like the EOS R3. If the reach doesn’t impress, the stabilization will. With 4.5 stops of stabilization, it’s possible to actually make photographs with…

Okay friends! I don’t know if I have any photography folks out there, but I’m looking for NOT CANON mirrorless brand recommendations.

I discovered yesterday that Canon does not allow support for 3rd party lenses on its R mount systems- the mirrorless ones. And I am MORE THAN PISSED, because third party lenses allowed me to BE ABLE TO AFFORD lenses.

The Canon Mirrorless I have was a gift a couple of years ago. They did not know, I did not know. As a photo nut themselves they are as ticked as me.

The lens I would like to upgrade to (I’m using one of my canon EF lenses with a converter because well cost and it’s better than the RF lens I have) is equivalent to the cost of a new body (better body too)+ a few of the lenses I want from a third party if I go to another system.

I’m far from a “must have best” type, I’ve been making do since I got my first SLR, but damn it I do this for work, and I would LIKE to have a nice set of lenses that work with my god damn camera and don’t put me into break the bank how you gonna pay your student debt status if you catch my drift.

I don’t want to hear about the “affordable” RF lenses. I have a couple and always default to my converter and EF lenses from my first camera.

Hello there! Love your photos, they are so beautiful!

I really wondered your opinion on Canon no longer allowing third party lens manufacturers for their RF mount? I'm not sure if I want to continue with Canon as they are simply getting too pricy for me. Canon lenses cost a lot, and my favorite lens now is a Sigma.

Thank you for your pictures, they really cheer me up :)

Hi!

And thank you, I'm really glad you find my pictures beautiful :)

As for Canon, I actually didn't know that they no longer allow third party lenses. I find that rather stupid, as it will only make their cameras less attractive for us hobby photographers. Knowing this, if I could afford it I would probably still go for the new R5 but I certainly understand people choosing another brand. Maybe I just had bad luck, but the only time I've bought a third party manufactured lens I was rather disappointed. It was a Tamron 150-600mm zoom that didn't live up to my expectations at all. But I've heard a lot of good things about Sigma. Anyway, wether I would buy a Canon with the RF mount or not is a rather academic question (unless I win the lottery or something). And I'm rather fond of my old camera and lenses even though the zoom lens is in need of a thorough cleaning.

All the best!
