Godox AD800 Pro Announced


Godox AD800 Pro: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Meet the AD800Pro — an 800Ws battery-powered monolight built for location professionals. It delivers reliable main-light output even in direct sunlight, rapid recycle times and long battery life, and offers versatile wireless control plus TTL compatibility across major camera systems. Together, these features provide powerful, dependable performance for professionals in any environment.

Overpower the Sun
With 800 Ws of output, the AD800Pro delivers decisive main-light performance that overcomes bright sunlight. It yields up to 300 full-power flashes per charge and a fast recycle time of 0.01–1.5 s, keeping pace with demanding on-location shoots.

Precision Power Control
Power is adjustable across a 10-stop range (1/512–1/1) with 0.1-stop increments, enabling extremely fine exposure control. This level of precision makes the AD800Pro ideal for product and still-life work, layered multi-light setups, and any situation that demands subtle highlight and shadow placement.

Advanced Pro Modes
The AD800Pro includes pro-grade modes — Freeze, Stable Color-Temperature, HSS, Multi, and more — so photographers can reliably handle fast-action, product and color-critical work.

Freeze Mode: Ultra-short flash duration down to 1/35,710 s (t0.1) for razor-sharp captures of splashes, jumps and other fast motion.

Stable Color-Temperature Mode: Minimizes color drift as power changes (typical drift ≤ 100 K), ensuring consistent color across the output range.

Supports HSS (up to 1/8000s), Multi flash, and first- and second-curtain sync—covering everything from bright outdoor portraits to motion trails and creative strobe effects.

Triggering Versatility
Built around Godox’s 2.4 GHz X wireless system, the AD800Pro delivers robust, long-range wireless control — including one-tap pairing with X3Pro/X3 and full compatibility with other X-series transmitters. It also supports wired sync via a 3.5 mm PC jack and external 433 MHz receivers via USB-C, giving photographers multiple reliable triggering options for on-location and remote shoots.

Flexible Power Solutions
To keep you shooting without compromise, the AD800Pro supports multiple power options. The optional AC26 adapter enables direct AC operation for continuous power, while the optional UC-46 fast charger reduces battery charging time to about 1.5 hours.

Creative Accessory Ecosystem
Native Bowens Mount — Compatible with a wide range of light-shaping tools (softboxes, beauty dishes, grids, snoots, etc.), giving photographers instant access to an extensive professional modifier system.

Optional Extension Head (H600P) — Featuring a 2m cable, the H600P allows flexible light placement and lightweight handheld or boom-mounted setups.

Canon Aiming For 100 RF Lenses in The Medium Term


DCLife spotted a presentation from the Canon Imaging Group Business Briefing held in November 2025 where Canon outlined its future plans for the RF mount. It looks like Canon is planning to maintain its aggressive pace of lens releases.

Key Takeaways:

  • RF Lens Roadmap: Canon has released 64 RF lenses as of 2025 (the 8th year of the system). They plan to continue expanding at the same pace and aim to reach 100 RF lenses in the medium term.
  • Focus Areas: The expansion includes “Hybrid” lenses strengthened for video users and VR lenses for 3D video, alongside their standard high-image-quality and compact options.
  • Manufacturing Precision: Canon states that manufacturing technology has evolved significantly since the EF era. They can now produce lenses that are much closer to their theoretical design values, minimizing manufacturing errors compared to DSLR lenses.
  • Market Dominance: Canon has achieved the No. 1 market share for interchangeable lens cameras for 22 consecutive years.
  • Philosophy: Canon emphasized that “Change is evolution itself,” stating they will continue to evolve their cameras to match the changing times.

It is impressive to see Canon committing to hitting the 100-lens mark so quickly. The focus on manufacturing precision is also interesting, as it suggests RF lenses are not just optically superior by design, but also by construction consistency compared to EF glass.

Voigtlander PORTRAIT HELIAR 75mm f/1.8 RF Coming Soon





Voigtlander PORTRAIT HELIAR 75mm f/1.8 RF: B&H Photo / Amazon

The PORTRAIT HELIAR 75mm F1.8 RF Mount is a large-aperture, medium-telephoto lens compatible with full-frame mirrorless cameras that use the Canon RF mount. Focusing on the relationship between spherical aberration and bokeh, it allows you to control overcorrection and undercorrection, resulting in a wide variety of bokeh effects.

Main Features

Designed specifically for the Canon RF mount
Equipped with an optical system optimized for the image sensors of mirrorless cameras using the Canon RF mount, this lens has a full-size image circle and can be used with both full-size and APS-C size mirrorless cameras.

Controlling spherical aberration
It is equipped with a control ring with a new mechanism that increases or decreases the correction of spherical aberration. When the image is over-corrected, the center of focus remains and the background bokeh becomes hard and bubbly. In contrast, when the image is under-corrected, the center of focus becomes soft and flare occurs in the highlights. The background bokeh becomes smoother, allowing for bokeh with an unprecedented range.

Electronic contacts for communication with the body
The lens mount is equipped with electronic contacts, enabling electrical communication between the lens and the body. When combined with a Canon EOS R system body, it supports Exif information, in-body image stabilization (3-axis)*1, and three focus assist functions (magnified display, peaking, and focus guide*2) (*These functions may not function if the control ring is turned too far).

Manual focus for precise focusing
The all-metal helicoid unit is machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that generates just the right amount of torque ensures smooth focusing, allowing for subtle focus adjustments.

Beautiful bokeh with 9 aperture blades
A nine-blade aperture is used to make the aperture shape closer to a circle, resulting in natural depiction of out-of-focus areas and soft, rounded bokeh of point light sources rather than polygonal.

*1 Only valid on cameras equipped with in-body image stabilization.
*2 Excluding the EOS RP.

specification

Lens construction

*A Turning the spherical aberration control ring will change the aberration and the focus position, so please adjust the focus after making the adjustment.
*B Turning the spherical aberration control ring will change the F-number (within 1/3EV), so please check the exposure after making the adjustment.
*C Turning the spherical aberration control ring to the under side will reduce peripheral illumination. Please adjust the amount of compensation or retouch the image after shooting. Read More »
