There have been several rounds of lens news recently, with Canon introducing two new ultrawide options for RF mount, Leica releasing its first wide-angle Noctilux and Viltrox finally announcing its first lens for L mount. Some of DPReview's editors sat down to discuss these new options and to talk about what impact they might have for photographers.

Let us know what you think of the new lenses in the comments or on our forums!

This week, Canon announced its widest non-VR prime lens for full-frame RF cameras, the 14mm F1.4 L VCM. We were lucky enough to get the chance to shoot some samples with it to get a feel for how it performs.

Of course, one of the most exciting uses for this kind of lens is astrophotography. Thanks to a combination of shipping delays and almost exclusively overcast weather, we weren't able to get any shots of the stars in time for this launch, but we'll be making sure our resident astro enthusiast, Dale Baskin, gets a chance to take some samples with it. Look forward to an update with those in the near future (assuming the skies cooperate, of course).
