Two Never Before Seen Lenses Coming from Canon This Year

[Canon Rumors]

Canon’s latest announcements were the EOS R6 V and RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ. For the most part they have been well received by the reviewer world with the usual complaints about Canon stuff, but all in all, it’s nice to see positivity. We still have a while to wait before both begin shipping, […]

This is somewhat vague, but I like where it all comes from. Yes, sometimes I have to repeat things, the R7 Mark II being the one here.

I sure hope one is a never before seen budget priced 80mm f1.2 with focus shift! That will go great with the 45mm, right?

It sure would be nice if Canon would update the RF 100-500 f/4.5-7.1 being that it came out in September 2020. And big disappointment about the R7 Mark II, but the good news is I'm not out $2000-ish bucks!! If it has the same setbacks at the 7D MII, then it won't be released until the end of 2027.

Porting the EF-M 22mm f/2 pancake to RF-S and making it f/1.8 would technically be a never-before-seen lens.

It sure would be nice if Canon would update the RF 100-500 f/4.5-7.1 being that it came out in September 2020.

As a benchmark, the EF 100-400L II came out 16 years after the original. I would not expect a 100-500L II any time soon. I'm sure there will be a first MkII RF lens at some point, but that won't be the one.

What are the odds that the R8II will also get the bigger battery. I mean the Nikon ZR got theirs together with IBIS in that slim body that doesn't even have a proper grip.

Definitely curious to see Canon's interpretation of retro. I'm usually not much of a fan (Fuji or Nikon Zf). I like modern control schemes.
