In a recent interview with Go Tokura, the Chief Executive Officer of Canon Imaging Group, IR and RDE, once again addressed the same hot topic that Canon users are actually eagerly waiting for: when will Canon open their full-frame RF mount for third-party lens makers?
The Burning Question
During an interview with RDE (Red Dot Edition), the interviewer asked Mr. Tokura if the majority of Canon third-party lenses made by Sigma and Tamron—those who have official access for making the lenses—are only available for APS-C cameras, not for full-frame. So, when are the third-party lenses coming for the Canon RF full-frame mount?
“As in previous years, I’m afraid we can’t disclose details about our agreements with third-party manufacturers. However, as you’ve likely noticed, the range of third-party lenses continues to expand each year, though we don’t closely monitor which specific models are being released. I would suggest keeping an eye on what third-party manufacturers are introducing to the market. And I suspect we’ll be having this same conversation again next year. — Mr. Tokura “
So What Does It Mean for Canon RF Users?
As usual, Tokura is not revealing anything very specific—neither confirming nor denying any news or information related to the development or the announcement of Canon third-party full-frame lenses. So these are the points that you should consider as the summary of the interview:
A Pattern of Carefully Controlled Growth by Canon
Canon already has a bunch of Canon RF full-frame lenses. Now, in total, they have 50+ RF lenses for the full-frame mirrorless system cameras. Even some manual focus lenses are also available from third-party lens makers. But as usual, only licensed third-party lens makers are allowed to make, sell, and distribute Canon full-frame lenses—and none of them as of now have received any sort of approval from the brand. The talks are going on behind closed doors.
Will 2025 Be the Year?
Canon never denied the possibility of Canon’s full-frame third-party lenses. It means they are in the process of approval. Canon took a lot of time in approving APS-C RF mount lenses, so they are not slamming the doors shut—they are taking their time and very selectively opening it strategically based on the market requirement and their profit margin.
So, for Canon users, they have to wait. But I do have hope that in the year 2025, we will see at least two or three full-frame third-party lens announcements from Sigma and Tamron.

Samyang announced AF 14-24mm f/2.8 lens for Sony E-mount, although the official announcement / formal press release based announcement will be done on April 25, 2024.
The lens weighs only 445 grams and supports 77mm circular filters, so it is lightweight, convenient, easy to carry, and one of the most important things is that they have upscaled the autofocus performance of the lens compared to their previous generation of lenses. The price of the lens is expected to be around 1100 USD.

There has been talk that we will have the new Nikon Z9 Mark II camera before the 2026 Olympics. If you look at the trend in the past. We have witnessed that Nikon and Canon were usually seen announcing their flagship bodies before the Olympics. Now it’s almost 4 years since the Z9 — the original Z9 was announced before the 2022 ( before Winter Olympics). Just after that, Nikon Z8 was announced in May 2023, which carries approximately 90% of the same core specifications we have in this Z8., The Nikon Z8 announcement has also disturbed the sales cycle of the Nikon Z9 camera, and many professionals prefer to buy the Nikon Z8 instead of the Nikon Z9.
Matt Irwin (Nikon Pro) has said in one his recent video that there strong possibility “Winter Olympics is a long way off but of course it’s not it’s roughly a year away and thus that sort of time frame would make a lot of sense to me and it would get us back to a Olympic cycle which is something that Nikon kind of adhered to mostly adhered to through the DSLR flagship era…”

The Winter Olympics will start from February 6 to February 22, in 2026, so there is a very high probability we will see the announcement of the Nikon Z9 Mark II camera in the 4th quarter of 2025, since it has to become available during the Olympics for shooting.
Nikon Z9 Mark II Camera Expected specification
-
A 45 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor inside the camera
-
Introduction of Expeed 8 image processor
-
Enhanced video integration from RED video technology, potentially more improved 8K video capabilities
-
Enhanced with Expeed 8 image processor, a lot of work can be done in the AI AF zone as well as in the performance part of the camera
-
Content Credentials: Support for authenticity features
A late 2025 announcement (development announcement rumored) with a release in early 2026 leaves a tight window for pros to adopt the Z9 II before the Olympics. Nikon’s rushed Z9 launch in 2021 faced criticism for incomplete features, later fixed via firmware, suggesting a need for thorough testing. Let’s see what they can bring in front of us in Z9 II.
