That s exactly what i had on my wish list back in this 2015 post.
Canon mirrorless full frame ef mount.
Designed to take advantage of everything the rf mount has to offer rf lenses represent a new frontier in lens design for mirrorless cameras.
Sony introduced its full frame fe range alongside the original a7 back in late 2013 and already had several years experience of making aps c e mount lenses by that point.
Marking a new chapter in the history of eos the eos r system is built for imagemakers who demand high performance capture a full frame sensor and excellent ergonomics.
With a large 54mm lens mount large diameter elements to match and placement closer to the image plane rf lenses provide brilliant image quality edge to edge with minimal light fallout enabling new possibilities for enhanced optics and compact designs.
What we don t need is another mount for a full frame mirrorless canon camera to add to ef ef s and ef m mounts.
Offering l series level weather and dust sealing the mount adapter ef eos r is even compatible with ef extenders like the extender ef 1 4x iii to extend your camera s optical reach.
We ve also been told that there will be a native ef mount full frame mirrorless camera coming as well.
When it comes to full frame lenses for mirrorless sony has the biggest head start.
Revolving around the new rf lens mount the eos r is poised to be the means from which to make the most of a new series of lenses and optical technologies.
A 54mm diameter lens mount enables rf lenses to have large rear elements while a mirrorless design brings them closer to the sensor for bright sharp and compact lens designs.
Imagine buying a full frame canon mirrorless camera and your entire collection of ef lenses being native fit and operation.
According to tony northrup both canon and nikon will release their respective entry level ff mirrorless next year with respective new mirrorless mount ef m from canon logically with a free adapter included.
Canon has two mounts within their mirrorless line up with the ef m being the aps c variant while the rf mount being the full frame variant.
We have heard previously that canon plans to announce two full frame mirrorless cameras within 6 months of each other and this definitely points in that direction.
What lens adapter do i need.
Mount adapters such as the mount adapter ef eos r deliver seamless connections between the eos r camera and ef and ef s lenses with all functions intact.
I can live with a little extra bulk too.
The first step in canon s mirrorless evolution the eos r pairs a redeveloped lens mount and updated full frame image sensor for a unique and sophisticated multimedia camera system.
