Five SKUs for upcoming Canon RF lenses have appeared at a Russian certification agency.
- 3986C005
- 3987C005
- 4112C005
- 4113C005
- 4114C005
Of these SKUs, we can assume one is for the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM. It's also possible that two others are for the two extenders that were announced.
The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM has the SKU 4111C002.
The other two could be for an upcoming macro, pancake and/or DO super-telephoto lenses. We do expect further lens announcements quite soon.
I was told today that three L lenses were coming in 2020.
More to come…
So maybe we can expect and hope for even more to come than named here by CR Guy :)
All one of them?
I would argue that any variable aperture lens would water down the L-designation. However, it is just not practical to have every L lens being f/4 at the slowest, and the L-designation seams to mean build quality, water sealing, and focus speed.
The easy solution is to not buy lenses that you deem too slow. I am going to get this 100-500 and a 200-400, one I can keep in my bag at all times.
Iso, noise, extenders, cropping, and 600mm f/6.3 vs 500mm f/5.6 zooms
The announced teleconverters don’t have anything viable to attach to yet. I suspect we’re getting a fast tele photo along with the lightweight one.
