Canon’s Next RF Prime Lenses – 35mm & 105mm Coming Soon?

Canon enthusiasts, get ready! Rumors are heating up that Canon is preparing to launch two new RF prime lenses — a 35mm and a 105mm — in the near future. While Canon has been steadily expanding its RF lineup, the addition of these focal lengths is exciting news for photographers across genres.

The RF 35mm is expected to be a fast, possibly f/1.4 aperture lens, offering a beautiful balance between wide-angle versatility and prime sharpness. It’s a classic focal length for street, travel, and wedding photography, making it a favorite for those who want a compact yet powerful lens. Canon already has an RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM, but a premium “L” series version would bring faster autofocus, better low-light performance, and superior optical quality.

On the other hand, the RF 105mm could fill a unique gap in the lineup. Traditionally seen in portrait work, a 105mm prime would offer stunning subject isolation and creamy bokeh, perfect for both studio and outdoor shoots. It may also appeal to event photographers and even videographers looking for a mid-telephoto option with character.

Although Canon has not officially confirmed the release dates or specifications, multiple sources suggest announcements could come as soon as mid-2025. With Canon’s focus on pushing mirrorless innovation, these lenses could easily become must-haves for professionals and serious enthusiasts alike.

Stay tuned as more details emerge — and if you’re thinking about upgrading your kit this year, you might want to keep a little room (and budget) reserved for these exciting new primes!
