I second that135L is pretty much DOA here in Australia since it’s $3899 AUD and the 135GM is only $2300 AUD. Not to mention you got the option of the Samyang 135mm f/1.8 AF for around $1400 AUD.

But two years is extremely fast. It was 4.5 years between the 6D and 6DII. It's the Rebel line that had a yearly release.If this is how they upgrade the R5, I'll just be waiting for the R1. Phoning that crap in. It's been 2 years. C'mon
I agree.But two years is extremely fast. It was 4.5 years between the 6D and 6DII. It's the Rebel line that had a yearly release.
UK got hit hard too, was £1000 more than the GM so ours is even worse though.The RF135L is certainly expensive here.
Weird that the R5 vs R6ii price differential is ~50% extra for the R5 in the US but the difference in Australia is only 20% premium!
(George's has it AUD5400 vs AUD4500). The R5 pricing is all over the place though from AUD5400 to AUD6400 at the moment.
Makes the R5 look like a bargain
I think they only updated it so soon because they want to release a body lower than it to replace the R/RP and this makes the R6II way more high end compared to what they plan to release I’m guessing.But two years is extremely fast.

That will be interesting to see if it happens. But I'm betting on those models never getting an update. They didn't follow Canon's naming scheme because they were planned as transitional cameras. Now that the R3, R5, R6, R7, R10 are out there which do follow Canon's regular conventions, the R and RP will just remain left behind.I think they only updated it so soon because they want to release a body lower than it to replace the R/RP and this makes the R6II way more high end compared to what they plan to release I’m guessing.
I'm hoping for a small lower end full-frame (no ibis, single card slot, lp-E17 battery), but if one comes, it will be the RP successor. Don't see any place for a R replacement, since it was a baby 5DIV (clog, top-screen). Maybe a dumbed down and crippled R6II, but would not call that a R successor...I think they only updated it so soon because they want to release a body lower than it to replace the R/RP and this makes the R6II way more high end compared to what they plan to release I’m guessing.
Too expensive and not tempting for me…Just under 3k € in Germany....

Maybe filled with helium? Maybe smaller buffer?The new R6 Mkii is lighter than the old R6 by 100g and also doesn’t list the materials of construction. Could it be it isn’t built with magnesium anymore? Or is it too soon to tell….

I got my R6 at Mediamarkt for a total of €1800 a couple of months back when they had both a discount corresponding to the amount of VAT (thereabouts) as well as the €300 cashback from Canon.Too expensive and not tempting for me…
depending on the sensor I might have been in the market, but not having any kind of upgrade sensor wise,ä and being a „stills only“ shooter, I’d actually consider a R6mk I if there is a nice discount in addition to the ongoing cashback.
