Camera and lens rumors don't just speculate over what a certain brand is working on – these rumors often carry hints towards what gear photographers are hoping to see next. And if new rumors swirling around a brand called "Vistilen" are any indication, it's clear what Canon shooters are craving: Third-party, full-frame autofocus lenses.
The Canon RF mount has a long and storied history of allowing third-party optics. Back in 2021 and 2022, multiple manufacturers stopped selling their RF Mount lenses. The RF mount has gradually gained a small number of third-party optics since then, with Tamron and Sigma launching officially licensed RF lenses in 2024. But most of these lenses are for APS-C cameras, and the lenses made for full-frame sensors tend to be manual focus.
