<p>Back in 2016 we had heard a few times that <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/?s=supertelephoto+zoom">Canon would be introducing a new supertelephoto zoom</a>, something like an EF 200-600mm f/4.5-5.6 IS. This is the type of lens segment that is dominated by Sigma and Tamron, as Canon’s longest “affordable” zoom is the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II.</p>
<p>Since the start of 2017, all has been quiet in regards to such a lens. Recently we’ve started to hear about the development progress of a new supertelephoto zoom from Canon.</p>
<p>While the lens won’t be coming in 2017, we’re told there’s a good chance it will come in the first half of 2018. We’re also told that Canon seems to have a goal to give any new lens some kind of a unique feature over the competition. What that could be for a supertelephoto zoom is anyones guest, but recent history does show some innovation in the lens department from Canon.</p>
<p>We have seen such <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/patent-canon-ef-200-600mm-f4-5-5-6-is/">optical formula patents</a> from as far back as 2015, but since the demise of the patent hunter site Egami, we haven’t seen anything more.</p>
<p><em>More to come…</em></p>
