Canon RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM specs compared with predecessor, Canon EF 35mm F1.4L USM II
Canon has introduced the mirrorless successor to the much-vaunted EF 35mm F1.4L USM II, only it’s not quite what we were expecting. Like the recently announced Canon RF 24-105mm F2.8L, this new lens is a hybrid model, appealing to filmmakers and still photographers. As such, it features a new voice-coil motor (VCM) for AF, a type of linear motor noted for its smooth focusing, supplemented with a second Nano USM to control the ‘floating’ (independently moved) element used in close-range correction.

Leica SL3 camera announced
Leica has announced the Leica SL3, the latest top-of-the-range model in the 35mm full-frame SL system. This is an exciting new camera for Leica and a hugely compelling update to the SL2, however, keen-eyed readers will see that there’s no multi-shot function, which was one of the key features of the SL2 (and SL2-S), or at least a key-differentiator between it and rivals (who haven’t yet matched Leica/Panasonic in either implementation or result). I spoke with a Leica executive and they informed me that the multi-shot feature has not been included this time but if there is strong demand for it then they will consider adding it at a later…
