Third Party Canon RF Lenses

Currently the number of third-party lenses available is pretty small and big companies like Sigma and Tamron have not yet unveiled any Canon RF lenses but I expect this is going to change in 2021.

Here’s a list of third party RF lenses that are available today.

Rokinon / Samyang have also converted some of their SLR cine lenses to RF mount, however these are designed for SLR cameras and simply have a mount adapter built on to the rear of the lens.

Canon RF Lens FAQs

What does RF mean in Canon lenses?

Canon has not officially clarified what RF actually stands for. Although many have hinted that it stands for Reimagined Focus or Revolutionary Focus as Canon often uses these words in marketing material for their full-frame mirrorless cameras. Also the EF mount stood for Electronic Focus, so there’s a very good chance that the F in RF stands for focus.

Are RF lenses better?

Canon says that what makes RF lenses better than their EF counterparts is the shorter flange distance between the rear lens element and the sensor. This allows them to focus the light more accurately across the entire sensor resulting in sharper images. From comparisons carried out so far it does appear that RF lenses are slightly sharper than their EF counterparts.

Why are Canon RF lenses so expensive?

Canon RF lenses have taken years of research and development to achieve very high levels of optical performance whilst reducing size and weight at the same time, unfortunately this level of technology doesn’t come cheap. Canon lenses have never been the cheapest on the market either.

Can you use RF lenses on EF?

There is currently no adapter on the market that will allow you to use RF lenses on an EF-mount camera.

What cameras can use RF lenses?

Currently the only cameras that support RF lenses are the Canon R, RP, R5, R6 and Ra.

How many RF lenses are there?

There are currently 20 RF lenses available from Canon, 11 primes and 9 zooms.

About Timothy Mayo

I love shooting wildlife the most but will happily point my camera at pretty much anything. I started RFShooters.com with my amazing sister Emma to share our own adventure with the Canon R Series. At present I own the R5 + RF 100-500 lens. I also run a similar site for Sony Alpha Shooters. So I also shoot with a Sony a7R IV, a9 and a6400. I find new camera technology fascinating so I unfortunately suffer from a very bad case of GAS! You can follow me on Instagram if you wish! Although I don’t post as often as I should.
