Phototrend had a chat with Kim Dubin, head of product planning at Samyang. And there is an interesting tidbit regarding their RF mount strategy:

As for a potential move to Canon RF and Nikon Z mounts, the lens maker is still waiting for official licenses from the Japanese manufacturers. But, interestingly enough, the latest AF 24-60 mm f/2.8 would already be technically easily adaptable to the RF mount, thanks to a shorter mechanical flange distance in the lens design.

Phototrend had a chat with Sigma CEO Yamaki and again said “he can’t comment” on the possible new RF Full Frame lenses. I don’t think this will happen any time soon :8

Here we have the first images of the new Kase 150mm f/5.6 REFLEX lens. It’s coming in two flavours: EF mount to enable autofocus and RF mount which is manual focus only due to imposed Canon restrictions 🙁

At CP+ 2026, Canon is exhibiting a concept model of an integrated lens camera based on the concept of analog operation and a unique shooting experience. Born from the idea of ​​”looking directly into the light and shooting” and “recording the sense of realism as it is,” the camera employs a waist-level viewfinder with two mirrors.

Instead of photographing the subject directly with the sensor, the sensor photographs the image projected onto a screen, aiming to achieve a film-like texture with the blur and bokeh that appears through the screen.

The current silhouette has a unique vertical shape because the light is bent in a U-shape and projected onto the screen. This shape was arrived at as a result of pursuing the shooting experience, rather than aiming for a classic camera design.

To take a photo, you manually focus the image, tilt the lever to switch the mirror, and then press the shutter. At the venue, it was possible to hold the actual camera in your hands and try it out, which attracted many visitors.

Two design proposals under consideration were exhibited at the venue: one with a classic impression that prioritizes ring operability, and one with a stylish design that makes use of a vertical silhouette, and visitors’ opinions were collected through a questionnaire.

The release date has not yet been decided. While other companies are pursuing a retro approach, Canon is currently in the process of carefully determining “what proposal will please customers the most.” Depending on the reaction of visitors, the move toward commercialization may be accelerated.
