Canon has announced four new lenses for its mirrorless cameras, three of which are touted 'hybrid', meaning that they are designed for video and still creators. They are the RF 24mm F1.4L VCM, RF 50mm F1.4L VCM and the RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Z.

The two pro-grade primes and zoom are made for Canon's full-frame cameras and join two recently announced lenses of the same kind, the RF 35mm F1.4L VCM and RF 24-105mm F2.8L USM Z – the latter being quietly launched alongside the RF 200-800mm monster wildlife lens – bringing Canon's range of hybrid lenses to five in all.
