Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L USM Lens to be Announced in Q3 of 2022

Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L USM Lens rumored to be Announced in Q3 of 2022. The fast prime lens got a new mention in the rumor mill. Actually there is no doubt Canon will eventually release this lens, sooner or later.

It is still unclear whether it will be F1.2 or F1.4, but considering the lineup so far, it seems that the possibility of F1.2 is high. We know that the company filed Canon patents for both models. These Canon lenses were the RF 35mm f/1.2L, 35mm f/1.4L, 28mm f/1.2L and 24mm f/1.2L. Looks like either the f/1.2 or f/1.4 will go in mass production this Summer.

It’s suggested that the lens is already in the “hands of testers and marketing folks and recently appeared in an internal dealer roadmap”.
