A teaser at the end of a new lens trailer may have revealed the latest manufacturer to be given autofocus access to the highly coveted Canon RF mount – Meike.

After only recently allowing Sigma and Tamron, the two most popular third-party lens manufacturers, to develop select AF lenses for RF mount, Meike was not even on my top ten list to be next in line. However, a brief teaser at the very end of its latest announcement video is giving a not-so-cryptic clue as to a future mount option.
