Wow, looks like they are cranking 'em out right off the bat. Their strength is lenses and they know it...now for an equivalent body to be able to mount them to...
FINALLY a 24-70 2.8 IS but of course it's RF mount.
That 70-200 looks surprisingly compact, but I'm assuming that this is a telescoping zoom design...which I have mixed feelings about. I like that my EF 70-200 does not extend, makes for greater durability, etc. On the flip side, it really is a beast which is a disincentive to bringing it into certain places. There actually might be room to have BOTH the RF and EF versions in this case...
Interesting that they chose 15-35, a little wider than 16mm which is fine but hopefully not at the cost of more distortion (there is enough already at 16mm)
24-240 - the ultimate travel lens for the R? Although I can't imagine the IQ would be very good, especially in comparison to the 24-105 (which has enough compromises already). Think I'd rather sacrifice the telephoto reach for better quality at the wide end, personally.
And finally, that 85 looks like a true beast. Even more so than the 50...no IS though. The EF version will likely continue to be unique for a while to come...
I wonder how these will stack up to their EF counterparts...they sold the RF system as this amazing breakthrough in technology and optics, now let's see if there's any real improvement here...
