The new 28-70mm looks like a honey of a lens. The published MTF shows this lens to be better than the other 24-70 options and at f/2 to boot. Can hardly wait for hands on reviews.

Is that black segment in the middle made of a composite material instead of metal? I guess that could be where some of the weight savings comes from.The MkIII supertele lenses have a distance window.
Which ‘black segment’? If you mean the widest black ring, the one that tapers from a wider to a narrower diameter, that’s the rubber covering of the manual focus ring.Is that black segment in the middle made of a composite material instead of metal?

Ok, I did not see the groves in the surface. It looked smooth in the image I had. Thanks!Which ‘black segment’? If you mean the widest black ring, the one that tapers from a wider to a narrower diameter, that’s the rubber covering of the manual focus ring.
Regardless, it looks essentially the same as the MkII.
I would like it being an RT master as well. But it still seems to be better than 270EX II - it's at least an optical master and it can tilt and swivel, so I might upgrade mine.I’d be excited if it was an RT master...but this? Meh.
I had a Sony DSC-F707 about 20 years ago that had a control ring on the front of the lens and it could be assigned to change focus or zoom. So Canon is doing it 20 years too late.

In an apple to apple comparison, the EL-100 recycling time is truly awful...
It is. Canon USA has a nice list of videos about almost all aspects of the EOS R system:They also don't seem to have distance window. It is quite bold move especially for primes unless those information are available digitally in viewfinder.
The front group moves within a tube like you can see on these pictures:
I think not, if the front element does not stay in one place.Isn't that the definition of an internal focussing lens?
Correct, all are front focusing lenses.I think not, if the front element does not stay in one place.
In that case the old EF 50/1.2 is also internally focusing - but it's not.
Same with the EF 40/2.8 STM or EF-M 22/2 STM.
