Canon has announced two new wide-angle lenses today. The 14mm f/1.4 is a fast wide-angle lens, while the 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5 is an extreme wide-angle zoom lens that can capture as much as 190 degrees of the image.
Canon RF 14mm f/1.4 VCM L
Like the earlier f/1.4 VCM lenses, this new VCM lens is aimed at both videography and photography. The lens consists of 18 elements in 13 groups. You can focus from a distance of 24 centimetres.

The lens weighs 578 grams and is 112mm long. The lens hood is integrated into the lens, so it cannot be removed.
The front lens has a slight bulge, so it is not possible to screw a filter onto it. At the back of the lens, by the mount, there is room to attach custom-made filters.
The Canon RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM will be available at the end of February and will cost 2,729 euros.
Canon RF 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5L Fisheye STM
The 7-14mm fisheye is an extreme wide-angle lens that can capture 190 degrees at 7mm. So be careful not to get your feet in the frame while taking photos.
The lens consists of 16 elements in 11 groups. On a full-frame camera, the photo you take at 7mm is circular. The lens weighs 476 grams and is 109mm long.
The front lens is also curved on this lens, so you cannot attach filters to the lens here either. To allow you to use filters, there is a special extendable filter system at the back of the lens.
This works differently from the 14mm f/1.4. Here, the system used is the one that was previously available in the EF to RF adapter. Several filters for this system are already available, and you can even use a circular polarising filter or variable ND filter, allowing you to rotate the filter while it is still in the camera.

The Canon RF 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5L Fisheye STM should also be in shops at the end of this month and costs 1,959 euros.
