Blank Slate Photography
Dear friend, A practical idea I have for you: Treat your photography like a blank slate (tabula rasa). When you start off in photography, be totally ignorant of the outside world, and learn on your own (don’t enroll into photography or art school). Then use this chance to build your own unique vision, and as […]

Canon full-frame mirrorless system launches with four RF-mount lenses
 |
Canon's first full-frame mount in more than 30 years is here, in the shape of the RF-mount. Featuring the same diameter as the venerable EF-mount but with a much shorter flange back distance, RF is designed from the ground up for mirrorless cameras. It's still early days, but four lenses have been debuted alongside the consumer-grade EOS R, providing a tantalizing glimpse into Canon's future ambitions.
Today sees the unveiling of the Canon RF 28-70mm F2L USM, RF 50mm F1.2L USM, RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM and RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM. This quartet covers common focal lengths from 24mm to 105mm and includes an exceptionally fast aperture zoom lens, and in a throwback to the early days of the EF system in the late 1980s, a flagship fast 50mm.
In addition to the four new lenses, Canon has also introduced three EF to RF adapters. The most basic is a simple mount converter, with an additional two adapters which add a customizable control ring (to match the control ring on native RF lenses), and a tray for drop-in filters, respectively. The drop-in filter adapter makes it possible to add a vari ND or circular polarizer to all lenses, including the traditionally awkward super-wides.
Canon promises that the EF-RF adapters will allow the millions of existing EF lenses in circulation to be used "without compromise" on the new EOS R and future RF-mount cameras.
