Canon Lens Leaks, 400mm F/4, 24-105mm STM, and 24mm F/2.8

Anthony Thurston

Well, last night just before bed the 7D Mark II specs and image leaked, and I went to bed shortly after finishing that post. Apparently Canon’s lens announcements also leaked online sometime after I hit the sack, so here are the pics and specs for the upcoming lens announcements.

Canon EF 24-105 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM

canon-24-105mm-stm

  • One UD lens and two glass mold aspherical lens
  • AF drivent by stepping motor
  • Full-time manual focus
  • 4 stops IS
  • Maximum magnification is 0.3x
  • New kit lens for the EOS 6D

Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II

canon-400mm-do

  • Total length 232.7 mm
  • Weight is 2100 g
  • Third generation DO lens
  • One large-diameter UD lens
  • One large-diameter aspherical lens grinding
  • 4 stop IS
  • Special coating SWC
  • Dust and water resistant

Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Pancake Lens

canon-24mm-pancake

  • First EF-S pancake lens
  • 38.4 mm equivalent
  • High-precision glass molded aspherical lens
  • Full-time manual focus
  • Minimum focusing distance 0.16m
  • Maximum magnification is 0.27x
  • 22.8 mm height
  • 125g weight

So, overall – unless there is more that has not leaked – I think that this is a pretty underwhelming lens haul for Canon at Photokina. The 400mm will be awesome, but priced so high most will never get to use it. The 24-105mm looks like it will be a great kit lens, even if it looks plastic and not as good of build quality as the 24-105mm L version. The 24mm pancake looks sweet, but many will complain that it is EF-S only.

Personally, I am not impressed, with both these lenses and the 7D Mark II. The door is wide open in my mind for someone else to steal the show at Photokina.
