When we posted our original RF lens roadmap, a lot of the lenses listed were expected to launch in 2021, and as we have seen, not many have come to fruition.
The most recent lenses to be announced have been the RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro and the RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM. The macro has begun shipping in small quantities and Canon themselves have already added that lens to its list of lenses with production delays.
As you can see from the image below, a few lenses on our roadmap were originally scheduled to have already been in production.
The following rumored lenses above of note.
- Canon RF 18-45mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
- Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro
- Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-7.1 IS USM
So this should illustrate that some rumors may have been true at the time they were reported, but have since changed as announcement dates are likely a moving target within Canon themselves.
But I find that the EF-S 18-200, EF-S 55-250 and the EF-S 18-135 is going to stop the production within 2020...
(For the 100-400 it looks like there's a tiny space beteen C and USM, on the other two lenses it looks like CUSM without a space. But I assume it is the same, and just bad typography in presentation)
This is also good news for future cheaper Canon bodies that may not have IBIS
