Images and specifications for the upcoming RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS & DM-E100

The EF 70-300L and 100-400L II have the same design, as do the standard (24/28-xx) L zooms for RF and EF.
I’m certainly wrong on this, but I have always considered telescopic zooms as cheap compromises. Dust filtration and solidity are among my fears with that kind of lenses.
I don't see how it is much cheaper to manufacture, but the ease of storing in a bag seems to be a preference among many here. Personally, with a few "critical" lenses such as the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, I don't mind needing some extra space to accommodate a more dust and weather resistant design, but Canon has a different agenda from any individual photographer!
Not all that worried about a few dust specs.

Removing a Fly from ‘Weather Sealed’ Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II
I've been doing lens stuff for a long time now. Long time. Trust me; it's hard to remain polite the 843,911th time some newbie goes into hysterics because there's dust in their lens. Telling them it doesn't matter a bit, and that all their other lenses have dust they just can't see ( because...

The smiley doesn‘t „mean“ so much at all.
New mount = new lenses = a lot of money made in this case. Nothing else I wanged to say.
It‘s not like I‘m stupid, of course business is about money, but I will keep my EF lenses for a good bit of time, and I have to give it to Canon, they even added functionality to the, via their adaptors. It‘s all fine, we‘re not doomes.
How did you come to the conclusion that I thought they should give it away for free?
It‘s just that I take it with a grain of salt. Especially the new design of the 70-200 I don‘t like very much. Besides the advantages over the older EF model, judging without Images, afaik there aren‘t any available and I am not a pixel peeper.
First samples of IQ on the 70-200 are up on TDP.

Unfortunately no apples-to-apples comparison with the EF version.
But, against the RF 24-70 at 70mm 2.8:

IMO, slight edge to the 70-200.
Against the RF 28-70 f2 at 70mm 2.8:

Closer but I'd say the 70-200 has slightly better corners.

All of which follows Uncle Roger's "Law of Zoom Relativity", even when they're not wide angle zooms.First samples of IQ on the 70-200 are up on TDP.

ef 70-200 /2.8 II at the 70mm end is on par with RF 70-200 besides in the extreme corners where RF lens looks better.
at the tele end, RF lens wins in mid frame and corners.
however, at the 135mm, I favour the EF lens in corners and centre.
I am keen to see some bokeh samples of the RF lens at various FLs. really keen.

I bought one of the very first 100-400 II zooms, used it often in dusty and wet environments (Northern American deserts, Wales and Scotland), and don't have any dust or fungus issues...
I never stow it away wet, or without caps, but don't even use a filter.
Sorry for you!
Cool, let us know what you think if/when time allows. Are you going to be using it with an R or an RP?
