It was linked to Amazon’s Canon Store, so hopefully what I saw is correct. $299 would be a great price for this lens.

As previously reported, this will not be an "L" lens, so it won't be compatible.
Thanks for the reply. I think the RP let’s me set one of the dials to ISO for other modes but not manual (in case a lens without control ring isn’t used?) but I’ll take another look. If the R allows I don’t see why they wouldn’t allow it on the RP also, but Canon sometimes does things like that.
Interesting to know that the Ra and R6 allow this but the RP does not. Very annoying when Canon unnecessarily removes functionality in software in less expensive cameras. This may speed up my upgrading from the RP.This is easily my biggest gripe with the RP. I shot with the Ra (astro version of the R) for several years and always set the control ring to aperture since I could use the other two camera dials for ISO and shutter. On the RP for some reason Canon restricted the camera dials to only allow aperture and shutter, not ISO. This is really annoying and probably the reason I'm going to switch to the R6 soon.
That's not what happened. The Ra and the R6 both came out after the RP. It's common for Canon to add functionality to newer cameras that they don't go back and add to older cameras. For example, your EOS RP has focus bracketing. The EOS R does not, even though it is a more expensive camera it came out before the feature was introduced. The Ra (as stated, a newer camera than the RP) has focus bracketing, too, as do the even more recent R5, R6 and R3.Interesting to know that the Ra and R6 allow this but the RP does not.

I was assuming that if the Ra had it then the earlier R had it also (I thought the only differences between the two were the IR filter, magnification, and perhaps one other thing that I'm not remembering at the moment), but that may not have been the case.That's not what happened.
