Canon Rumors 12 Days of Christmas - Day 4

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here's how it works.

Welcome to Day 4, and we have a week before Christmas Eve. The fourth day is four calling birds. But apparently, it gets deeper, my friends. The original published version was four colly birds, which later changed to four calling birds (assumed to be the four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). But four blackbirds would be something entirely different. Blackbird pie, perhaps? Whatever the case, you can always get four calling birds from Amazon and call it a day.

So, with blackbirds in mind, here are a couple of Canon black lenses among the top wished-for lenses of 2024.

Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM

The Canon RF 24-70 f/2.8L IS USM carries on the Canon tradition of an impressive standard zoom for professionals and prosumers alike. It's sharp, it's fast, and it's relatively compact. For a limited time, even better, it's on sale for $300 off it's regular price for the holiday season.

Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM

Not everyone can afford the $2099 entry price of the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM, but Canon has another lens just for you. The newly released Canon RF 28-70mm f2.8L IS USM is optically good, small, light, and priced at $1000 less than the professional L lens.
