Update: Canon will announce at least 6 new RF lenses, we've added the RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS to the list.
Canon is going to be announcing at least 5 RF lenses next week, and we've also been told as many as 8 will be announced.
Five lenses have already leaked and they include the following:
- Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM
- Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM
- Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM
- Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
- Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM
- Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS
That'll give us the promised “holy trinity”, as well as the already rumored RF 85mm f/1.2L and a new superzoom that will likely be available in a kit.
The Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS ended up being wider than 16mm to begin the “holy trinity”, but not as wide as previously mentioned.

But do I want to sell my EF gear to fund it? Argh!
I want that RF 85mm f/1.2L, but I really hope Canon implement IBIS because that heavy glass will need it.
Sorry for Sony :ROFLMAO:
I wonder how good the 24/240 will be.
I am really hoping to see a 100mm Macro for EOS-R mount.
So lets hope they will bring a decent upgraded 5IV on R!! (min. of 10fps!)
That stood out to me as well. The 70-200L glass on EF forewent a telescoping barrel. I'm not sure how they can make a 2.8 telephoto zoom that short without a telescoping barrel, even on a mirrorless system.
Could be that the "focus" ring is in reality a customisable ring which could be configured as a MF ring? The texture is consistent with that of the other customisable rings.
That's true. And one of the drawings in the 70-200 patent application had a moving front element, so a telescoping barrel could be a possibility.
I wonder if this is going to be significantly cheaper than the EF version?
