That's apples to oranges. The RF 28-70mm is a stop wider, and that must add to the weight.

28-70 is 3.15 pounds?
The weight saving idea went out the window.
The lens might need to be that big to be f/2, but it kind of misses the mark for the first go round of releases.
A compact f/2.8 might have been more appropriate.
17 cm is hardly a macro distance,while 17mm is, american i presume?The focusing distance for the macro lens should be 17 cm and not 17 MM as well.
.. how do you select all those af points without joysick?EOS R specs are out too. Sounds nothing like typical Canon... Well at least so far. look at the AF points it is crazy....

Right, so the RF 35/1.8 IS a touch lighter than the EF 35/2 IS, and RF 24-105/4L IS is a bit lighter than the EF 24-105/4L IS II (although a fraction heavier than the EF 24-105/4L IS) ... and the RF 28-70/2L and RF 50 1.2L are fairly heavy lenses. Unsurprising for their specs given they are all FF lenses (and what we've seen other brands), but again it has me questioning whether FF mirrorless really has much of a weight or size advantage over DSLR ... and assuming it doesn't, what the big deal is about FF mirrorless.
I understand mirrorless may offer some other benefits over DSLR, but DSLR offers some benefits of [edit: over] mirrorless too (depending on what features you value, eg I am yet to see an EVF I like as much as an OVF although I realise others prefer EVF).
I will be interested to hear more about the EOS R and the RF lenses as information becomes available, but at this point personally I'm not feeling a likely buyer for the EOS R (at least any time soon).
.. how do you select all those af points without joysick?
Sure, but how much? And at what point does saving weight on the body lead to ergonomic problems / lenses feeling unbalanced on the body?You save weight on the body, not the lens.
Calling BS on the weights of the RF 50mm f/1.2 (and maybe the 28-70 f/2)
The EF 50 1.2 only weighs 580g!
So the 35mm isn’t a true 1:1 macro right? 17cm MFD seems long
The 35mm IS has MFD of 24cm
Good question. Perhaps 1:2?

28-70... 3 pounds for a lens that will go on a tiny camera with a skinny grip? How are you expected to grab the camera with one hand? The EF 24-70 -2.8 II is half the weight and it is heavy already. I have the unbalanced problem with the Sony A7r iii and the 24-70 being too heavy for the body and it's only 2 pounds!
Seems strange that there's the same artefact on three lenses and not on the fourth, especially because 2 of those three are pretty sure to have IS and the fourth is pretty sure to not. :>It could be a switch. It could be an artifact.
If it’s a switch, it could be Lens IS on/off. I could be body IS on/off. It could affect how the rings work. It could a lot of things![]()
I'll pass.Seems legit, canon full spec sheet on the eos-r... no ibis

I know.
But I was hoping to buy that combo for my wife and I think she will be disappointed by the 25% gain in weight.
