The EF 200-400 f/4L 1.4ext is not much cheaper than the 600 f/4L (91K vs 109K here in DK), so I would expect an RF-200-600 f/5.6L 1.4ext to follow that trend.Nice lenses , but I hope Canon makes a RF200-600mm DO f/5.6 with built in 1.4x extender and / or a RF600mm DO f/5.6 also with built in T.C
Both would be expensive but not as expensive as the RF600mm f/4 and much lighter and more compact
That’s true with the sales tax. But with the RF100-500mm pricing in Europe the savings are enormous even with a 8,25% sales tax!Just remember to visit a no tax or low tax state! Local sales tax can be around 10% and eat into your "savings" quite a bit. If you are planning on purchasing the lens in advance, you could order from a local store ahead of time to ensure it's reserved and available when you arrive.
A 600 f/5.6 would have an entrance pupil of 107mm which is only 7% larger than that of a 400 f/4The EF 200-400 f/4L 1.4ext is not much cheaper than the 600 f/4L (91K vs 109K here in DK), so I would expect an RF-200-600 f/5.6L 1.4ext to follow that trend.
Considering that the 600 f/5.6 would require +15% larger front element than a 400 f/4, the selling price could ballon further up.
Sorry.
Sorry, but @kaihp is correct, a 600/5.6 entrance pupil is ~14.5% larger than that of a 400/4.A 600 f/5.6 would have an entrance pupil of 107mm which is only 7% larger than that of a 400 f/4
67mm cap is also pretty small for 400mm FL .Just seen this
”"EOS R3 Body" and accessories (ST-E10, AD-E1, DM-E1D, ER-L1, ER-HE, ER-H) have been added to Canon's latest product list. According to the corresponding accessories table, RF16mm has a hood of EW-65C, a cap of E-43, and a lens pouch of LP1014. RF100-400mm seems to have a cap of E-67II and a pouch of LP1224.”
43mm front filters thread would be tiny.
That’s consistent with an f/6.3 max aperture.67mm cap is also pretty small for 400mm FL .
about accesories let me guess DM for digital microphone?
You poor guy.ohhh, have you used the lens much? What kind of dog do you have btw? Is he photogenic?
Never thought I'd see the dog fetish guys show up. People are so bold these days.You'd better go to a spa and relax....
Better go with Samyang......I am in on the 16mm if the IQ is acceptable for astro. It is the one i am waiting for. Dont need IS. TBH I don't even need AF really although I am sure that wont be the case. Will need to see reviews of IQ first though

My Tamron 100-400mm has a 67mm filter thread and a aperture of f/6.3 on the long end so we could see something of a similar size/weight. Might need to list mine for sale if this Canon isn't too pricey.That’s consistent with an f/6.3 max aperture.
I believe they have a well developed roadmap of retirement dates for all of them.Is there anything in the pipeline for EF mount (Camera or lenses) ?
I would have also bought the RF 14-35 f/4 as a replacement for my EF 17-40 f/4 but on seeing the hefty price tag and waiting time I bought a used, but mint Sigma DG 14-24mm f/2.8 HSM ART for just under £600. A chunk of a lens and needs adapted but I thought a better option for me for the little ultra-wide photography I do.I sold my EF 16-35mm F4 in order to get the RF 14-35mm F4. After canon revealed the price for the RF Lense I cancelled this plan immediately…
The coma on the RF 35mm f/1.8 is pretty bad. I do hope that’s not an issue on the 16.I am in on the 16mm if the IQ is acceptable for astro. It is the one i am waiting for. Dont need IS. TBH I don't even need AF really although I am sure that wont be the case. Will need to see reviews of IQ first though
