The significance of an ultra-wide lens for APS-C cameras lies in its ability to overcome limitations imposed by the crop factor. While full-frame lenses can be used on APS-C cameras with a crop factor of 1.6x (or 1.5x for Sony and Nikon), the resulting images often require cropping and may not achieve the desired wide-angle perspective. By introducing a native ultra-wide angle lens specifically designed for the APS-C sensor format, Canon can provide users with unparalleled shooting capabilities and eliminate the need for excessive cropping or disproportionate lens sizes.
For those considering purchasing a Canon EOS R7 or EOS R10, the rumored RF-S 11-22mm lens is undoubtedly worth anticipating. The introduction of a high-quality ultra-wide lens tailored for APS-C cameras could unlock the full potential of Canon’s APS-C mirrorless lineup, providing photographers with the tools they need to capture stunning wide-angle shots. Let us hope that Canon delivers an exceptional lens that meets the expectations of APS-C camera enthusiasts.
