Canon has announced several new lenses. There is a 24mm, a 50mm and a 70-200mm, all with the VCM focusing system. A new VR lens has also been announced.

The new VR lens is the RF-S 7.8mm f/4 STM Dual Lens. As well as being suitable for VR content, it can also be used for 3D recordings thanks to its dual lenses.

The lens is intended for APS-C cameras, particularly the EOS R7, where the angle of view corresponds to 15.6mm on full frame. The format is suitable for Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 platforms.

Alongside the VR lens, there are the RF 24mm f/1.4L VCM and RF 50mm f/1.4L VCM lenses, aimed at hybrid photography and video. Both lenses have the new Voice Coil Motor, a maximum aperture of f/1.4 and an aperture ring.

The RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z is available in both a black and a white model.
