Canon’s 10 Oldest Lenses: Time for an Update?

Anthony Thurston

Did you know that there are Canon lenses still in circulation, that you can buy new from the store, that were released in the early 90s? The oldest lens you can currently buy new from stores is the Canon EF 50mm F/2.5mm Macro, which was first released in 1987. Just so we are clear how long ago that was, that lens is older than I am. Let that sink in for a minute, haha.
