Additionally, alongside these high-performance RF lenses, Canon has also formally announced the RF-S 7.8mm f/4 STM Dual lens—a specialized stereoscopic optic meant for EOS R7 users to record 3D spatial content for headset viewing.

The Canon RF 24mm f/1.4 L VCM and RF 50mm f/1.4 L VCM lenses bookend the existing RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM and add wider and narrower focal length options to the hybrid series while maintaining the same f/1.4 speed that’s crucial for low-light shooting and depth of field control. The 24mm is a great option for establishing shots, landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors while the 50mm is a standard, “normal” focal length that’s versatile enough for portraits, landscapes, and more selective views within a broader scene.

Key Features

Both lenses feature a dedicated manual iris ring, a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) linear AF system, and a Nano USM AF system to adjust the floating focus elements for maintained sharpness throughout the focusing range—the 24mm focuses down to 9.4″ and the 50mm focuses to 15.7″, giving 0.17x and 0.15x maximum magnifications, respectively. The VCM rear focusing system is effectively silent and offers smooth movements that makes it ideal for video applications. Also, the lens has extremely well-controlled focus breathing; Canon states it is within 2.5% throughout the entire focusing range and can be reduced to 1% if electronic breathing correction is applied.

Physically, the lenses have the L-series-level durability and weather resistance that is expected, ensuring reliable use in harsh weather conditions. Both lenses have a 67mm threaded filter ring (the 24mm lens also comes with an attachable rear filter holder to lessen the likelihood of vignetting) and both have a programmable lens function button.

Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z follows a similar design strategy as the new primes but also incorporates some more tech that originally debuted in the RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z. More than just serving as a new 70-200mm f/2.8, this new lens also answers the demand for an internal zoom, internal focus alternative to the existing RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM—a lens that is very compact but has an externally zooming design, which can be divisive for some shooters. The new 70-200mm f/2.8 Z has an all-internal design that’s perfect for sports shooters working from a tight, fixed vantage point or filmmakers who need consistent balance when shooting with a gimbal.

Beyond the essential internal design differences, the Z version of this zoom also sports a shorter zoom ring throw for quick switching between the 70mm and 200mm ends of the range. This new lens also sports a manual, lockable iris ring, two customizable lens function buttons, and an additional customizable control ring. It’s a telephoto zoom built with the same versatility as the 24-105mm Z lens—it’s a perfect match for C400 and C80 shooters as well as R1 and R5 Mark II users.

Some of the other design distinctions include compatibility with the Power Zoom Adapters PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B; compatibility with the Extenders RF 1.4x and 2x; Nano USM AF motors to control dual floating focus units; a 2.2′ minimum focusing distance with a 0.3x maximum magnification; and well-controlled focus breathing throughout the focus and zoom ranges.

Additionally, this 70-200mm f/2.8 will be available in both Black and White color options; the Black version will match the 24-105mm Z and be the more inconspicuous option while the White colorway will appeal more to photographers and those who favor the heat-reducing benefits of Canon’s traditional white telephoto lens design.

Finally, Canon has also formally announced the RF-S 7.8mm f/4 STM Dual lens—a stereoscopic prime purpose-built for capturing 3D photos and videos, which are meant to be viewed in spatial, 3D 180°, and 3D theater formats on compatible headsets, like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3.

This unique lens is designed to solely be used with the EOS R7 camera for an approachable pathway to create camera-captured 3D content via the Canon EOS VR System. Dual lenses produce a unique level of 3D immersion that isn’t possible from two-dimension content; the lens affords a distinct way to capture daily explorations, memories, and portraits.

The lens itself features a nimble STM autofocus motor that simultaneously focuses both optics in a precise, quick, and quiet manner. The dual lens has a 60° field of view, which is similar to human vision, and it achieves a minimum focusing distance of 5.9″, with a 0.07x magnification, for close-range shooting of intricate details.

Revealing the Top 15 Searched Keywords in Asia

TAIPEI, Dec. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SWAG, Taiwan’s largest adult livestreaming platform, often known as the “Pornhub of Asia,” has released the 2024 SWAG Recap today. The report dives into the world of trending adult content, the year’s top searched keywords, and even the income of creators, sparing no details. According to the data, the top searched keyword on SWAG in 2024 was “Vietnam.” Meanwhile, two Taiwanese creators—former Army Chief Counselor “Neinei” and former Sea Dragon Frogman 177—landed in the 3rd and 6th positions as the most searched keywords thanks to their enormous social media buzz. The hashtag with the most clicks went to “Big Boobs.”

In this year’s top searched keyword ranking, “Vietnam” and Vietnamese creator Rosa (@rosababyvip) dominated the top two spots with overwhelming search volume, highlighting the loyalty of Vietnamese enjoyers of SWAG. Meanwhile, keywords like “Ex-Army Chief Counselor Neinei” and “Sea Dragon Frogman 177” maintained high visibility throughout the year, landing them in 3rd and 6th places, respectively.

Analyzing average daily login time by users from different countries, SWAG users spent 15 minutes and 56 seconds per session on average globally, 49 seconds longer than last year. Taiwan emerged as the undisputed champion with an average daily login time of 16 minutes and 21 seconds, the only country above the platform average. On the flip side, Japanese users clocked in at just 11 minutes and 25 seconds, becoming the quickest to reach post-nut clarity. Notably, Vietnamese users soared from last year’s last place to the 4th longest with their online duration time, surpassing users from Singapore and the U.S.

Among SWAG’s nearly 200 hashtags, “Big Boobs” reclaimed its crown from last year’s champion, “Schoolgirl,” becoming the most searched hashtag of the year. “Schoolgirl” fell to 4th, edged out by “Gangbang.” Surprisingly, the long-beloved tag “Creampie” dropped to its record-low position, only ranking 9th.

SWAG noted that nearly 5,000 new creators joined this year, with 40% hailing from Vietnam, making it the country with the most new creators, followed by Taiwan. Among the talents, luna (@rouav) and Jolly (@jollyntr) were crowned as the most popular creator and best newcomer respectively! After a brief hiatus, Luna made a strong comeback by captivating fans with her “natural melons,” “S-line waist,” “perky booties,” and “flawless legs.” Her popularity skyrocketed by 891 spots, earning her the title of SWAG’s Most Popular Creator 2024. The best newcomer, Jolly, who only joined SWAG less than a year ago, gained immense popularity for her housewife aesthetic and NTR-themed content. Fans of the married lady buzzed over her livestreams and videos, where her husband reportedly has been watching helplessly behind the camera, further fueling her meteoric rise.

In other creator data, SWAG’s “Fan Following Clock” is ticking faster than ever! On average, a creator gains a new follower every 5.7 seconds on the platform. Additionally, 8.8% of new creators earn USD 30,000 in less than four months, with Betty (@bettyqueen) achieving this milestone in just three weeks, making her the fastest-earning newcomer of 2024.

Does SWAG make creators rich? The numbers prove everything. This year,  Shirley (@shirleybebe) posted a story, which was unlocked by over 3,000 users within 48 hours, earning her approximately $1,500 instantly as the post became the most profitable story of 2024. Best Newcomer Jolly also delivered impressive results. After debuting in May, one of her long videos attracted over 2,000 viewers, earning her $17,000 just from that one single upload.

When it comes to SWAG’s most lucrative money-making features, livestreaming and private messaging definitely top the list. For example, when Grape (@stellajs) hosted her birthday livestream this year, she generated USD 37,000 in just three hours. Meanwhile, Nini Baby (@ninibaby), well-known for her private chats, sent 380,000 text messages to users this year, receiving 85,000 replies and countless chat gifts. Her private messaging income alone earned a staggering USD 490,000 in revenue, a 17% increase from last year, securing her throne as SWAG’s Queen of private chat.
