Canon has produced 140 million EF lenses

[dolina]

On December 19, 2018, Canon reached a new production milestone of 140 million EF lenses*, reinforcing its position as the world's highest-volume manufacturer of interchangeable lenses. True to the development concept of the EOS Series established in 1987.

*Including EF-S, EF-M, RF lenses and EF Cinema lenses

Seeming that milestone was 57 days ago it is safe to assume that the 140 million EF lenses could solely be attributed to lenses related to the EF mount rather than RF lenses.

Roughly 4.3 million a year for 33 years...not bad! That is indeed high volume!

WoW, you have one MILLION lenses?!?! LoL
Well, of those other 139 million you DON’T have, I’ve probably got a dozen!!!
So how many FT were produced? I’ve still got two of those too !!! LoL
Canon has been producing ef’s for at least twice as long as they produced ft’s!

Well, maybe not, but seem like it. I have several FD lenses for my old Canon T-70 film camera.
