With full-frame coverage and even medium-format models, manufacturers have been all about fleshing out new mirrorless camera lines. According to everyone we talked to at PhotoPlus, 2020 is likely to see an even bigger explosion of growth in the mirrorless market.

Canon’s RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM DS port two key L Series focal lengths from their EF lines of DSLR solutions to the growing mirrorless RF family of cameras.

At $300 more than the standard RF 85mm F1.2 L, the “DS” in the RF 85mm F1.2 is the first lens from Canon to offer a new Defocus Smoothing Technology that uses a special optical coating on two of the lens elements that will soften the edges of background highlights for more pleasing bokeh without any affect to foreground sharpness.

There are now ten RF lenses in total, with the RF 15-35mm F2.8 L wide-angle and the RF 24-70mm F2.8 L standard zoom just announced this September.

Canon’s new RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM is also likely to be a popular choice for video. It starts at an ultra-wide for room coverage and extends to a much less exaggerated perspective at 35mm, useful for street photography.

The RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L zoom has a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the range. There are also two different kinds of focusing motors so that AF is accurate but quiet during video.

The $799Fujifilm XF 16-80mm lens is a moderate wide angle to telephoto zoom for their X Series of mirrorless full-frame and APS-C cameras. Available as of this last September, the XF 16-80mm is compact and lightweight lens at only 0.97 pounds.

With wide to near telephoto coverage at 24mm to 120mm in equivalence, the APS-C range definitely gives an “all-in-one” zoom. There are also six stops of camera shake stabilization. WR stands for “Weather Resistant” to use the lens during inhospitable environments.

[Hasselblad Makes World’s First Medium-Format Mirrorless Camera]

Hasselblad just sent us latest X1D II 50C medium-format mirrorless camera with XCD 4/21 lens for a full hands-on review. At 21mm, the XCD 4/21 covers an equivalent ultra-wide 17mm as a full-frame.

We’re also really excited for the market arrival of their XCD 3,5-4,5/35-75 zoom. Planned for availability in January, the X System lens will be the ninth in their mirrorless medium-format line of X lenses. It gives Hassy users a useful moderate wide to standard view in 28-58mm equivalence.

LensBaby’s latest is their $59 Color Expansion Pack for the OMNI Creative Filter System. It comes with two multicolor crystals, a set of color gels, luminescent films, a crisscross rainbow film and textured luminescent films.

For mirrorless lenses as well as DSLR or even video lenses, the $99 OMNI Creative Filter System attaches magnetically to the filter thread of the front of the lens.

Using step-up and step-down lens rings and articulating arms, creative effects and multi-colored flares can be adjusted as needed in the composition to create borders and refractions on otherwise boring backgrounds or subjects. Cinematographers use high quality crystals and other tools like these all the time to create analog optical effects in filmmaking.

The Creative Filter System comes with Crystal Seahorse, Stretch Glass and Rainbow Film wands. A $49 OMNI Crystal Expansion Pack adds Crystal Spear, Triangular Prism and Scalloped Window tools.

Arriving to orders now, Nikon’s $7,995 NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct for the Z Series of mirrorless cameras has incredible low light capabilities and large aperturefor destination work, portraiture, travel and nighttime photography.

In fact, it has the fastest aperture that the company has ever produced. Without even autofocus, the manual lens is a heavy hitter—especially at a weight of 4.4 pounds, and that’s for a prime—as it’s a solution meant for serious photogs.

On the more affordable side, Nikon also released two affordable, lightweight and compact APS-C format DX zooms along with their latest Z Mount camera, the $859 Z 50. The Z 50 is also APS-C, and is the lightest ILC that Nikon has ever made.

Priced and designed as entryway models into Nikon’s Z Mount world of mirrorless, the $299 NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR and $349 NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR zooms are both available as a bundled kit purchase with the Z 50 at $1,349.

At a little more than 10 percent the price of the Nikon Z 58mm Noct, Nikon also announced the $999 NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S wide-angle lens in early September. There are now ten available lenses in the mirrorless Z Mount family.

[Testing Out the Olympus OM-D E-M1X]

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated lenses ever for Micro Four Thirds users.

Vaguely promised for delivery sometime in 2020, the MFT mount lens doubles the view of a standard 35mm frame for the same angle of view as a 300 to 800mm, only in a much smaller lens and camera body.

It’s also the first from Olympus to have an internal 1.25x teleconverter for a whopping reach of 1000mm. The $429 Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 2x Teleconverter MC-20 is available now, which can double all of this even once more to a potential 2000mm. 

[The New Olympus E-M5 Mark III]

The lens will have Olympus’ IS Image Stabilization and it can support 5-axis Sync IS for sensor stabilization, too. They said during a meeting at PhotoPlus that the goal of the lens would be for it to be handheld.

Naturally, the company is targeting sports, events and nature photographers with the MFT mount for the affordable and lightweight throw that the lenses offer.

In the meantime, available now, their $899 M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-200mm F3.5-6.3 has the equivalent range of a 24-400mm. Olympus says the 16.6x zoom is currently the highest available in interchangeable lenses for mirrorless systems.

Like their EF-S lenses for DSLRs, Canon’s mirrorless EF-M mount is APS-C only, so options are more compact as well as more affordable. Sigma announced three micro-sized f/1.4 prime models for the Canon EF-M on October 7th.

Available now, the $339 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary,  $449, the 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary and $479 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary give the APS-equivalence, respectively, of a 48mm, 25.6mm and 89.6mm.
