Canon has verbally committed to releasing at least seven new RF lenses a year, with the plan to give especially beginners more options.
Canon says it intends to release seven or eight new RF lenses a year going forward as it works to build out its first-party library to match the more than 70 that were available for the EF mount before the launch of its mirrorless line., Canon’s managing executive officer and deputy manager of the Imaging Group Tsuyoshi Tokura says that since the launch of the EOS R system, Canon has produced seven to eight new lenses a year, resulting in a total of 33 RF lenses in the company’s library.
Tokura says that the basic bones of the lens lineup are in place, but the company has a long way to go to get to the more than 70 EF lenses it had available for Canon DSLRs before the RF mount was announced. In addition to expanding its total lens library, Tokura also emphasized the goal of expanding options for beginners as it invests “more resources in mirrorless development.”
Hearing that Canon has already reached 33 first-party lenses might come as a surprise and it sounds like a lot, but compared to Sony’s huge library of 72 first-party lenses and the fact that Canon is still not even halfway to getting to its peak EF lens number shows the company has a long way to go.
