Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS to come before EF version [CR2]

An EF 24-70 IS after an RF version? Ya, and they'll be new a EF 50L 1.2 too 
Guess I'll be sticking with my f4 IS for a while longer.
And you keep getting the same nice results from a top L lens. Now if they make an EF 24-70 2.8L IS that is at least equal to the II version I might reconsider... you save money I guess
No biggie.oh boy DSLR are dying faster than i thought...
not a SINGLE EF lens in 2019?!
not even a new 50mm ....
That sounds fine. People who own an R may ant a native mount or may not have an EF. The vast majority of people with a DSLR in the market for a 24-70 2.8IS have something in EF already.
My big question is, how much?

Since this rumored lens has IS, not sure why you are complaining here in this thread.
Yes, exactly. The EF lineup is already essentially complete and up to date (with one exception, apparently..) So it is obvious Canon will try and build up the RF lineup as quickly as possible. Of course, forum dwellers will immediately take this as a signal that DSLRs are dead. Typical over-reaction.That sounds fine. People who own an R may ant a native mount or may not have an EF.

If someone wants 50 1.2 now, RF is the only choice. Switch to Roh boy DSLR are dying faster than i thought...

I don't think the dslr is already dead, but the comment at the end about the EF version might be dependent on how the R is received doesn't give a lot of confidence
As an R owner I like how things are shaping up lens-wise for the RF mount and I understand why Canon needs a cheaper standard zoom (compared to the f2 version), but I am also eager for some more exotic lenses to be released on the RF mount...an 85mm, a fast short-portrait zoom, some ultrafast wide angles, etc. So exciting to see what this new mount enables the engineers to do.
I bought into the Canon system in the mid 1980s for the lenses, last 6 months I bought two Tamrons, 45mm and 85mm. Those were the first, maybe not the last.... you save money I guess
I've got an R (I love it btw, even without two cards) and I'm really anxious for exactly this lens, or there-abouts. I've got nothing to look through yet because I'm waiting for the polarizing adapter; and none of the first four RFs are a good fit for my needs. Besides this rumored standard zoom I've got a pretty small-niche wish-list, so I'm resigned to waiting awhile. But if Canon is reading this:
A 28mm IS f2.0 Plenty fast but compact, too. No macro required.
A 17mm TS-E that uses filters. Front, back—doesn't matter. 19 or 20mm would be close enough.
A 24mm TS-E compact and with excellent optics.
And yeah, expensive year ahead!
