• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

A Canon RF 300-600mm f/4-5.6L IS USM on the Horizon

Since I just broke down and bought a 200-800, the 300-600 L is imminent.
Sure as if you wash your car, it will rain - if I buy a long tele, a newer, better long tele will be released.
This is exactly why I won't buy another 24-70 or 28-70 presently.
Yet, if nothing juicy is announced within the next few months, I too could break down and regret it...;)

Earlier this year it was rumored that new supertelelenses would be coming in 2026. Time is probably too short for the winter Olympics in February 2026, but the World Cup in soccer is in June - July 2026. 400mm and 600mm with built in teleconverters were also rumored.

I like the 300 to 420, a good compromise on size and weight if the image quality is what one would presume.

"soccer" or did you mean football? ;)

Football is called soccer because the name originated in England as a shortening of "Association Football," which was created to distinguish it from other forms of football, like rugby. At Oxford and Cambridge Universities in the 1800s, students created slang names like "rugger" for rugby football and "soc" for association football, eventually adding an "-er" to make "soccer".

And I thought it was an invention by your former rebellious colony...:p
Thanks for the very interesting explanation!

So is there an announcement on the 26.11 ?
Anymore information around this lens ?
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any update so far. @Canon Rumors may have something in the works, but I haven't seen anything else on the internet. I bumped this thread to see if we could get that wheel spinning a bit lol. But who knows, maybe this one died down again. I certainly hope not!

In any case I'm at least rather happy with my 70-200Z + 2x for now, though I am hopeful for a 300-600 eventually. Some recent butterflies:
