Canon has opened up about why it’s made things so difficult for third-party manufacturers to produce RF-mount lenses. Up until recently, few existed and their absence meant Canon EOS R users were having to spend often huge amounts of money on RF glass.
The best Canon RF lenses include the versatile Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L to the much more affordable Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 to the super high-quality (and very expensive) Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 USM. The one thing all these lenses have in common is they’re Canon-branded – and frustration has arisen among EOS R users as they yarn for more lens choices from other manufacturers to complement their photographic needs.
