I am eager to see Canon fill out the telephoto end of the RF mount. I've only had the 100-500 for three races and love it...but I would like to see more and faster apertures! Nikon's new 400 with the built in 1.4TC has me very jealous!

I miss my EF 400mm DO II, and I think Canon could make an even lighter version that would also work better with a 2x extender.There was a previous rumor about an RF 200 - 500 with a built in Tele converter, I imagine we would see that one sooner than later.
The 300 - 800 really intrigues me.
I’m mostly looking forward to the rumored RF 400 f/4 IS DO USM. Need something sharp, long, and portable.
What is the TC issue you speak of?An L-series 150-600 would be much appreciated. I envy both Sony E and (soon) Nikon Z shooters for that option (in both cases: 200-600). There is more than one occasion, when I don't wanna bring my big white prime, e. g. when I go for a long hike or gonna shoot in really crowded places. Right now, there is nothing in the Canon lineup that fills the gap. The 100-500 is outstandingly sharp, but does not offer enough reach for me and has this ridiculous tc issue. And the 600/800 f/11 are great little lenses but aren't weather-sealed.
A sharp and reasonably lightweight (between 3 and 3.5 kg) 200-500 f/4 with an inbuilt TC would be a dream lens for many wildlife shooters. In fact, it is for me. Very versatile even at close range or for very large subjects, such as puffins or bison, and - with a flick of a lever - enough reach for smaller birds or birds in flight. And no faffing with attaching or detaching converters in wind, dust, rain or snow - when nature photography gets most interesting! Only the price is gonna be hefty. I assume around 15.000 USD - should we ever see this lens getting produced in the first place.
I do think a 400/2,8 with built in TC would be a brilliant lens for Canon to bring out!I hope Canon makes a similar lens.
It is not like they can't.
A minor over-exaggerated defect.
Big, white and blooming expensivei wonder what a 100-400 f/2.8 would be like
These are patents, it could be months, years, or an eternity before these become actual products. The 100-500 is an excellent lens.Sigh, I literally just bought the RF 100 - 500. I wonder how it will perform.
RF 200-500 f/4L with a built in 1.4 TC and take my money.
Huh? really? You want to go hiking, wigh 150-600? I own tamron 150-600 G2 andAn L-series 150-600 would be much appreciated.
