    Canon to announce the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM and RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM soon

    The long-rumored Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM and Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM will likely be announced sometime in the next couple of weeks. These lenses have been delayed a couple of times already this year I have been told.

    As noted by Nokishita today, the lens hoods for each lens have been added to Canon's product catalog. Lens hood ET-83G (WIII) and Lens hood ES-65B will be for the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM and RF 50mm f/1.8 STM.

    Both of these lenses will be small, especially the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM which I have been told is basically the “size of a Coke can”.

    More to come…

      I hope the 50mm will be a 1:2 macro lens.

      If it is indeed that small (size of a coke can), I might be interested. With the size of R5, you can sneak the pair, and security won't bother you with this "you are a pro nonsense".

      Yes, very keen to see the 70-200 F4 L Is. I just hope its not $2k, though it probably will be.

      You beat me to it. It would go nicely with the RF35/1.8 & RF85/2, and make it more versatile.

      It will complete three f1.8 prime lens combo for most photographers.

      I hope the RF 50 STM will be as cheap as the EF 50mm STM. I know, i'm dreaming

      Guess on pricing on the 50 f1.8 I'm thinking $299-350 would be nice if under $200 but given the RF line up I doubt it

      $199 would be perfect :love:

      I am glad that Canon continues to release "affordable" primes.
      I'm going to guess $349 and $1449
      But I don't think that 349 will be enough for the MRSP of the RF 50 STM.
      Looking at the 85 STM price I'd add at least another 200.
      And if the 70-200 is an "L" maybe we need to look further towards 1,800.
      Just my 2 cents.

      RF85 STM is f/2 :p
      But you're right that this is an interesting combo (y)
      And I would buy at least 2 of them when going into R system.

      I'll be looking "very strongly" at that 70-200mm for certain.

      Those are definitely viable guesses. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the 70-200 was $1800. I think they'll feel some pressure to both improve the quality of the nifty 50 while pricing as low as they can. We shall see

      They have to chose between 1:2 macro or small. And since the 35mm f/1.8 and 85 f/2 are both half macro I'd guess the 50mm is gonna be the one that is small. I can be wrong but I don't know if I want to :-)

      I hope the next one is the 14-35 f/4 or a cheap 70-300 (I think a 100-400 "kitlens" is rumored)

      I'm curious to see how the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM stacks up against the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, both visually and economically.

      ... I think they'll feel some pressure to both improve the quality of the nifty 50 while pricing as low as they can. We shall see
      Is the term "nifty 50" to you in relation to the EF 50/1.8 STM or to the EF 50/1.4 USM?
      To me it always was to the 50/1.8 and its predecessors, also called "plastic fantastic".
      IMO the RF50/1.8 STM will be the equivalent to the EF 50/1.4, as the RF85/2 is for the EF 85/1.8 USM.

      Edit: Af far as it looks now this will be more the "nifty 50" EF 50/1.8 STM equivalent.
      Leaves space for a RF50/1.x IS STM macro.
