Canon’s APS-C cameras, such as the impressive EOS R7 for wildlife and sports photography, and the beginner-friendly EOS R10, have garnered acclaim. However, the limited lens options available for these cameras have posed a challenge for users. Currently, only three RF-S lenses are available, all of which are moderate zoom lenses with modest maximum apertures. To truly captivate photographers and elevate their performance, prime lenses and premium zooms are the coveted additions that are yet to materialize.
Notably, Nikon’s Z-mount mirrorless camera system faces a similar predicament. Both Canon and Nikon need to display equal enthusiasm for APS-C as they have for full-frame, reflected through the development of a wider range of lenses. The hopeful emergence of the rumored Canon RF-S 11-22mm lens could signify a positive turning point and the promise of more to come.
