Re: Is a new "dream lens" 50mm 0.95 probably coming next year?

A Canon 50mm f/0.95 would be possible, as Canon certainly has the engineering capability. RF or EF, Canon can do it. I reckon RF would be more likely.

Whether or not this is a probable event, well, I am not going to spend time speculating. I am not sure whether I care, as I have tended to favor focal lengths somewhat shorter and longer than 50mm.

My EF 50/1.2L is nice enough, but I have used it mostly on APS-C and APS-H cameras.

I wore a police badge and pistol, and made evidentiary images at night, incorporating elements of portrait, macro, still life, landscape, architecture, and PJ. (Retired January 2018.) I enjoy using Canon and Nikon gear.
