The Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L USM is coming in This fall of 2022 [CR3] | Canon Rumors

It isn’t an unattainable ask. The ensuing entrance aspect dimension of about 140mm is identical because the Nikon 300/2, or Canon 400/2.8, 600/4., 800/5.6. These lenses are dear however not unaffordable.

The power is not that loopy both. Vast-open lenses have football-shaped highlights within the corners and a associated substantial mild fall-off. Cease right down to f/1.4, although, and you would have a round spotlight from heart to nook. Then, add a DS filter and light-weight transmission and whole quantity of bokeh is once more lower in half, to the equal of f/2.0.

However whereas the bokeh quantity is the equal of f/2.0, it’s unfold in diffuse balls of sunshine irrespective of the place within the body an out-of-focus spotlight is. The consequence can be probably the most stunning portrait lens of all time. Its images can be acknowledged by all, its edgeless, round highlights even within the corners unproducible with every other lens.

Different examples can be a 50/0.7, much like the half-dozen or so examples utilized by Stanley Kubrick to shoot Barry Lyndon.
