Canon to Expand Third-Party Autofocus Lens Options in 2025

According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, we may see third-party lens options from Chinese lens makers in the year 2025. They are actively not only developing a wide range of autofocus lenses for brands like Sony E, Nikon Z, and Fuji X, they are also actively working on a collaboration with Canon RF Mount, one of the names that come in front of us is Viltrox.

Now they are working for the access of both full-frame and APS-C format lenses of the RF/RF-S Mount, but due to the complexity of technology and the entire process that a third-party lens maker has to follow before they put their lenses in the market, it is still uncertain whether the lenses will reach the market by 2025 or not. But they are putting in maximum effort to bring out new lenses for at least the Canon RF-S mount in 2025.

Now which APS-C lens we are expecting to be announced first for the Canon RF-S mount? The sources share the 1.2 LAB series lenses, specifically mentioning the Viltrox AF 35mm F1.2 LAB, which is expected to be the first, additionally followed by a series of F1.4 lenses that compete against Sigma’s recent offerings.

Another good news is that the expansion is not only limited to Viltrox at the moment, as two more third-party lens makers are involved to get access and make Canon RF mount lenses. However, the names are unclear yet, and we will bring updates as soon as they become available to us.
