Canon RF Mirrorless Lenses
Canon has a new design philosophy with these RF lenses, which is to keep the lenses lighter and more customizable. A lot of people say they feel plasticky, but from my experience, they feel very good, very high quality. Canon is just using a thinner plastic outer shell than what they traditionally have used in the past. I think people are forgetting that Canon lenses have had a plastic outer shell for a very long time now.
Regarding the electronic manual focusing with the new RF lenses, it’s the best I’ve used so far. You can get very accurate with it and it feels very natural, better than any other brand in my opinion.
You have some MF focus ring sensitivity options so you can set the focus ring to change with rotation speed or you can link it to rotation degree. If you link it to a rotation degree it works almost exactly the same as a manual lens. You can also adjust the direction of the rotation of the manual focus ring.
Canon RF Prime & Zoom Lens List
This list shows all of the available Canon prime and zoom mirrorless lenses. L lenses are the highest quality lenses that have the best coatings, elements, and mechanics and they are also usually weather sealed. The Non-L lenses are often built with more casual photography in mind, they often have some limitations in performance, but some of them still have some unique character like the 50mm f1.8 which has nice micro-contrast.
Canon now has a full range of f2.8 zoom lenses that expand from 15mm all the way up to 200mm, as well as some variable aperture lenses and a great 28-70mm f2 lens.

Third-Party Canon RF Lenses
This list features all the third-party lenses available for the Canon RF mount. Organized by country of origin in Alphabetical order, except I put China last because they have so many lenses.
Canon is not currently allowing third-party lens manufacturers to make lenses with autofocus capabilities.
Most if not all third-party lenses to Canon have only been designed for generic test benches and are not designed for Canon’s exact sensor specifications. This can sometimes cause some issues with some lenses on some camera bodies like purple color shifts in the vignetting.
American Made Lenses
There aren’t many American lens companies out there that make lenses for the Canon RF system. The only one that’s popular and still around today is Lensbaby which has shifted some of its attention over to the Canon RF mount.
Lensbaby Lenses
The history of Lensbaby is interesting. They started out as a small company back in 2004 making ball and socket lenses or shift lenses. While many of their lenses still are special effects art lenses, their designs continue to improve.
Lens Baby has some very nice lenses such as the Velvet lenses, that keep true to the classic mid-century rendering that is lost with today’s modern lenses. They do this by keeping the elements low while still allowing for some lens flare.

Sigma Lenses for Canon
Sigma has yet to release any lenses for the Canon RF mirrorless system, however, we’re hoping they will soon.
It’s rumored that the new lenses for the Canon RF system will be tailor-made for the new RF mirrorless mount.
Each camera system has a unique approach to sensor design with different microlenses configurations and sensor cover glass. To maximize performance, each lens’s optics will need to be tuned to compensate for these differences. It’s even more important with mirrorless cameras since the rear element or exit pupil can sit much closer to the sensor creating very sharp angles of light for the edges and corners of the sensor.
Tamron Lenses
Tamron has let the world know they are now making mirrorless for systems other than Sony. Their lenses will come to Nikon and Canon full-frame bodies likely in the next few years and we already see a partnership with Nikon.
Tokina Lenses For Canon
Hopefully, we get more Tokina lenses in the future.

Yasuhara Lenses
The Yasuhara Anthy is a new mirrorless lens for various full-frame mirrorless camera systems. They are the same company that made the 5:1 macro APS-C mirrorless lens that was well received. They also have a few EF and F lenses.
The new Anthy 35mm f1.8 Features 9 elements in 7 groups. So far I’m seeing nice contrast and sharpness with the weakness being the vignetting. This might be a great place to start if you’re looking to build out their prime manual lens collection.
The Anthy is a very fun street lens because of the great performance you get from such a small package. Unfortunately for the Canon RF mount, it does produce a little purple vignetting in some situations.

Korean Lenses
Samyang / Rokinon Lenses
Samyang is a company out of Korea that also sells its lenses under the brand Rokinon. They’ve really improved as lens designers over the last 10 years, and now have some incredible designs at really good prices. Often they won’t be as good as the big brands like Canon or Nikon but are still very good for the price.
Samyang is no longer making AF lenses for Canon. The AF protocols infringe on Canon patents and it seems Canon is enforcing this protection. Viltrox also no longer has Af lenses for Canon and you can expect there to be no company that offers AF lenses for Canon unless it’s a company like Tokina that licenses the mount protocols and releases the lenses at a higher price (we saw them do this with Fujifilm).
Currently, Samyang has their full frame cine lenses available for the RF mount.

Chinese Brand Lenses
There has always been this stigma about Chinese quality control and production ability. While this is true for some lenses and products, there are some incredible things happening in China right now and we’re seeing some genuine expertise with some lenses coming out of China.
Kipon, for example, is a very high-quality brand and Laowa lenses have been very well received. Kalman continues to grow and even Mitakon continues to refine its lenses.
Of course, some of the Chinese lenses are cheap junk, but that doesn’t always mean they aren’t worth something.
Often you’ll find some of the cheap Chinese lenses are priced very fairly and will produce some really fun results in the right circumstances.
I’ve had a ton of fun with some of those cheap Chinese lenses over the years and I do recommend them for fun.
7Artisans Canon Lenses
7Artisans lenses are a lot of fun, especially for the price. Their older lenses could be a little shaky when it comes to build quality, but they always produce a cool classic look that you just can’t find anymore with modern lenses. Lately, as of 2022, it looks like their latest manufacturing practices have been improved and their new lenses are showing signs of significant improvements.

Handevision is actually owned by Kipon and they make lenses with a classic style in both physical design and rendering. Kipon has moved away from the Handevision brand name and is just using Kipon which already has a great reputation for its high-quality adapters.
These lenses are of very high quality.

Meike Lenses
Meike has engineered its 50mm f1.7 lens for the new Canon RF mount. This was a fairly popular low-budget lens for the Sony FE mount and it’s nice it has moved over to Canon.
The Meike lenses are cheap Chinese lenses but their optical formulas are actually quite nice. Usually, the main flaw with their designs is poor coatings, so you get inner element light scattering in bright environments as well as ghosting and flaring. I’ve found the Meike lenses to hold up a little better than the 7Artisan lenses, but both brands are very similar. Usually, Meike will share the same optical formulas as 7Artisans but they’ll switch out the aperture to use fewer blades.

Vazen Cine Micro Four Thirds Lens
Vazen produces Anamorphic Cinema lenses for the Micro Four Thirds Mount, but some of these lenses are also available for the RF mount. You’ll have to run these with a crop on your RF cameras.
There are different levels of Anamorphic compression but the Vazen lenses use a 1.8x compression for a 2.39:1 aspect ratio with a micro four thirds sensor. If these lenses have a large enough image circle to run in the 16:9 Canon 1.6x crop then your aspect ratio will be even wider.

Adapters
I’m already noticing that third-party 35mm lenses adapted to the Canon EOS R are performing a lot better than they do on the Sony cameras. Because Canon has a correctly sized lens mount, they don’t have to use a very aggressive lens micro design, so lenses designed for film or DSLRs tend to perform better.
Also, the Canon EOS R has a thin sensor stack which results in improved performance when adapting Leica lenses or 35mm film lenses. If it wasn’t for the pretty bad focus peaking, the EOS R is probably the best option for adapting old 35mm film lenses.
Kipon has 20 different adapters for the Canon EOS R system. Kipon is a very high-quality adapter and lens company out of China.
Novoflex has some adapters on the way as well.

I really understand why you like Nikon, and I agree with you that there are a lot of fuzz and hype going on about Sony and Fujifilm. I don’t buy that either. But I am shifting up now (have been using Olympus M5 for a while, but there is such a thing as too small…) because I want FF. And now I can get small mirrorless FFs, thanks to you Nikon and Canon! So my question is really this. For a guy like me (ie. on a budget AND having already a some Canon EOS-gear), I reckon that to go for Canon RP is OK for the moment? This would allow me to reuse some lenses. I realize that there may be (?) better mirrorless FFs, BUT is is cheap, and it gets me into the RF-universe, where I could even play with some FD-lenses. So it gets me in a position to start with the system without ruining me, and probably later I will get some of the good lenses too (and for sure, there will be upgrades also for bodies. The alternative is going Nikon NOW, which would set me back a lot more kroners (that’s the norwegian dollars…), but I MAY BE more satisfied in the end? What is your advise?
If you’re just looking to build out a system over the next 5 years, it honestly won’t matter who you go with since all the camera brands by then will have their lenses filled out and their bodies will all be pretty comparable at that point. Canon and Nikon just about caught up with Sony eye AF in only a year. So the RP as an entry into the Canon system isn’t a bad idea. Then just wait for Canon to make some more of their lenses and to release their pro body RF.
I’ve also noticed Canon stepping up their game with build quality improvements lately. The new M6 II and G7x III are rock solid now. They feel soo good, so I think they’re taking the new competition very serious and there has just been that 1 or 2 year development lag to everything kind of like how Apple is always a year behind Samsung but when they do release the product, it’s just a little bit more thought out, a little more refined.
But here is my two cents about everything right now.
The RP is a cool little inexpensive full frame camera. It’s very fun to use but it isn’t as good in low light as the R, that’s the big thing I noticed and I don’t think it has the same level of AF since that last R update. But it’s still a cool camera to start to build a system around and very fun for street shooting.
I bought the R because I also have a ton of Canon EF glass and a lot of manual lenses that I can adapt to the system and it’s just a fun camera to shoot with.
Right now Canon still seems very focused on mostly only making high end professional lenses. There just aren’t any great RF lenses for under $1k. While I think it’s one of the best systems to lean towards for the high end professional that needs those f1.2 primes and f2 zooms, it’s not great for the average joe. But if you like f2.8 zooms, they’re finally releasing some and the rest are on the roadmap. For f4, there is that 24-105mm f4 RF which I’ve use a ton and it’s just amazing. That might be a great lens to start with.
Other than that 24-105mm, the rest of the expensive pro lenses aren’t for me, I’m waiting and still using older lenses or manual lenses on the R, or using new prime lenses like the Yasuhara. The Canon primes are still just too expensive except that 35mm f1.8 which really isn’t that great. You’d probably be better off adapting the much cheaper 40mm f2.8 EF unless you need IS. The IS on the 35mm f1.8 is actually pretty good.
Right now Nikon has all those f1.8 lenses, which are all under $1,000 USD and they have f2.8 zoom lenses and a few f4. I only own the Nikon primes (35mm, 50mm, 85mm) and that’s mostly what I’ve been shooting with because those lenses are probably the best bang for the buck out of any brand right now unless you can get a Sony Batis lens on sale. But the versatility of the Nikkor f1.8 is probably still better.
Because I only ever need f2.8 or f4 zooms and f1.8 primes the Nikon system is a better package for me, currently. Canon might not make f1.8 primes to match those Nikons for a long time, they might do what they’ve done in the past which is amazing super pro f1.2 lenses, good f1.4 lenses and budget f1.8 lenses. I like that Nikon made very high quality f1.8 lenses to start because f1.4 is overkill for me since I shoot a lot of street and like smaller, lighter and less expensive lenses.
Thanks for your answer! I think I am just going to bring my lenses to the shop and try it on the RP body, and feel how it handles, and fit my hand, and also check the VF, since that is important to me. Yesterday I found my old Canon 40D, and was a bit surprised that the VF wasn’t that good! I still have my AE-1, and it has become sort of a benchmark for me, regarding size and brightness of the VF. This is why I still shoot film with the AE-1, and also why I also have been looking at the Fuji X-T3, that have a really good VF.
You are right on the point: photography should be fun! So for me as an amateur / enthusiast, it is all about how things are working in real life. I think people now (including myself) are reading too much specs and are too much looking for new features and cool stuff. For me, taking mostly nature-, street- and family-photography, I just need an OK camera that gives me nice pics and that I like to work with. I see people buying all this L-brackets and extra gear, that they don’t need at all, and hence the used camera-market in Norway is full of this stuff. And also I see lots and lots of people selling very good cameras that they bought just some months ago! That is kind of sad to me, since I grew up in the time when stuff was built to last, and people cared about their cameras.
Cheers Alik, and thanks again!

Sorry, my spam filter caught your comment for some reason but it showed up in my email still.
The online review world goes a little crazy with hyper focusing on certain specs, but in reality the camera industry is in trouble. All the cameras today or at least the next release are going to make it very difficult for camera companies to sell more in the future. Hollywood is barely even making movies in 4k but yet they are offering 8k cameras now. I have a 4k tv but my monitor I edit on is still 1080p. I think Japan wants to broadcast the olympics next year in 6 or 8k or something so there is a push.
Sensor Dynamic Range is already so good so that you don’t need to worry about it anymore. People make a big deal about how many frames per second a camera shoots at but I always limit mine to 5fps for bursting.
The only improvements that are still nice are low light improvements, which that slowly edges forward with noticeable improvements maybe every 5 years or so, but there will be a limit to that with current sensors tech until we move over to organic.
They increase the resolution of sensors but that still offers no improvement to detail at high ISO. We’ll likely see sensors that don’t over expose and improvements to low light in the next 10 years, but there just isn’t that many more meaningful updates they can add to a camera that are going to change most photographers images. The big thing will be turning cameras into computers like our smartphones. Better screens, 5G, etc.
🙂 Well, I am not going there! I just today got my long-awaited Nikon S2 from Japan. It is beautiful, and have a lovely 100% and bright VF. So I really look forward to use it. I was originally looking for a Contax IIa, but my local repairsman told me that the Nikon was much easier to repair. So what I am looking for is a modern camera to complete my collection. (My GAS has to stop now …)
I also think that the camera industry, sort of competes itself to death. The rate of new models coming is really too fast. For me, there is really not much more a producer needs to put into my camera. So arguably, I might go Z6, and make that my last camera!
Yeah, the Z6 is cool because you can adapt just about any old lens to it even new Sony E Mount.
You should probably highlight the fact that if you use one of the EF to RF adapters, you can use any lens that currently works with your EF mount DSLR.
The only ones that pretend not to know that are the Sony shills. Most EOS R shooters I know have EF lenses mixed in with their kit.
True enough. I was thinking of the noobs. I use an EOS R with EF lenses. I can’t afford most of the RF ones!
There is supposedly an RF nifty fifty coming and a new RF pancake like the 40mm f2.8 EF.
Incredible information! I make YouTube videos around the Sony APS-C cameras like the a6000. However I also own the Canon M50 (love that thing) and just got the Canon RP for my gf. So into RF learning I go! This list is super helpful. Bookmarked!
Thanks Kyle, There are suppose to be some more cheap RF lenses coming soon which could be cool.
Meike now also offers an 85mm F2.8 macro lens.Strange lens but lots of fun for $240
