Canon's RF Lens Mount Facilitates Advanced Optical Engineering
Canon introduced its EOS R full-frame camera in 2018, featuring the new RF lens mount. This mount has a 54-millimeter diameter, matching the older EF mount, but with a reduced flange distance of 20 millimeters compared to 44 millimeters. The design change allows for more creative lens constructions, as demonstrated by over 40 RF lenses released since then.
