Canon has some wonderful gear in its portfolio. The company has been introducing wonderful options for photographers who want performance at a good price. It appears that Canon is now keen on launching a lens that will be considered 'world's first.'

I remember when I first really started getting into photography in the early 2000s that f1.2 lenses were considered peak photography. Even holding one was something special. They were so hard to use, but the images they made were so intensely beautiful. Back then, the only ones that I'd see were from Canon and Leica. Nikon had a few, but no photographers ever really seemed to use them. Fast forward to today, and nearly every manufacturer has an f1.2 lens.

Back in 2014 and even a bit before then, photographer Ryan Brenizer was making waves across the photo industry with a special method. You see, APS-C cameras were way more common. And full-frame was still pretty expensive for most folks. So he would do something called the Brenizer Method -- which essentially is a panoramic portrait. In 2022, I wrote an article wondering why it hasn't come to cameras yet. If you haven't read it, you really should because it's incredibly in-depth and even references other photographers we've interviewed that do it well. And in 2026, I'm still struggling to understand this.

When it comes to choosing a lens, there are multiple options that Canon users can choose from. For instance, the 10-20mm f4, 85mm f1.4L, or 800mm f5.6L, are some examples that continue to be important for various genres of the medium. Per new reports, Canon is now working on one of its most ambitious lenses with ease. Have a look.

Canon has always been a really fascinating company with how they approach their lenses and even their cameras. While other brands would put a lot of work into making their prime lenses super sharp, Canon put the effort more into their zoom lenses. And when I reviewed the Canon 16-35mm f2.8 III in 2016, I surely felt that to be the case. For a lens that Canon made, it surely did feel like it still had a soul and a very unique way of presenting the world to your camera's sensor.

Viltrox previously released one of their best character lenses: the 28mm f4.5 pancake. First, it came for Sony E mount. Then it came to Nikon Z mount. This lens is something really unique in that it boasts a built-in lens cap, autofocus, and a very small size. It also has a fixed aperture -- which is perfect because I feel like most digital photographers have forgotten how to use the aperture setting on their cameras. Today, it launches for Leica L mount. Therefore, it also comes to one of the most perfect cameras for street photography: the LUMIX S9.
