Canon EOS shooters fond of the 50mm focal length should be excited by the announcement of the Canon CN-E 50mm T1.3 L F.

Although intended for cinematographic use, it has an EF mount, and should be perfectly happy aboard any EOS body, frame size FF-35, 1.3X (remember that size?), or 1.6X.
Its maximum aperture is T1.3 (probably about f/1.2).
I presume all controls are Manuel (or Rick, or whoever your favorite focus puller is).
Expected list price is $6,800.
There are similar 24 mm (T1.5) and 85 mm (T1.3) lenses, at the same price.
Now, for you super-zoomers out there, there is the CN-E 30-300mm T2.95-3.7 L S:

This is the EF-mount version of this lens (also available with a PL mount for "traditional" cinema cameras). Although intended for cinematographic use, it will work on EOS bodies with the 1.6X sensor size. List price is expected to be $45,000.
Don't worry about the weight - that's what grips and 2nd ACs are for.
Best regards,
Doug
