I suspect (pure speculation) that the Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro won't be too far away, it's a popular focal length, currently missing from the available primes.
Canon releases Q3 2021 financials, and lets us know 2 more RF lenses are coming this year
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
They give them a vague mention:
"Going forward as well, we will effectively introduce new camera bodies and lenses..."
Yeah it's been pretty quiet on the R, RP replacements and possible R7. It'd be nice to know more, especially in the wake of Sony
s a7.4
Edit to add: if the 18-45 does indeed come out this year, as Neuro suggests, then that may shed some light on Canon's plans for crop R-mount cameras, if any.

Not by past standards. The 70-200 2.8L IS USM was released in 2001, the II in 2010, and the III in 2018. That's a spread of 8 and then 9 years.It was released in 2015. That feels pretty old?
All these lenses for a 20MP sports flagship when Nikon is already at 45.7MP. Canon can make all the lenses they want....
It certainly would serve as a halo product. Zeiss made such a lens for satellites and Kubrick got some to shoot the movie Barry Lyndon with. There's a Zeiss Biotar 100m f/0.73 that looks like this:
Yes but it's not for sports and is not well suited for big whites or ergonomics vertical to horizontal. Would prefer two CFExpress for workflow with two 512 and or 1TB cards. The R5 blooms in direct sun, Canon needs to address this for a sports camera for those of who shoot outdoors and and into stadium lighting.
