Further clarification of what will be announced by Canon next month

I wonder if the battery grip works for both bodies. Would be nice.
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date.
If you hear of anything regarding a software neutral density feature in the R5(6) it'd be good to hear about it. I really hope that they add this (a lot of other cameras have added it already) or else add it in a firmware update.

Can anyone else remember a tech company releasing so much new kit all at once - especially with so much riding on its success.That's one heck of a shopping list.
Fingers crossed the new 50/85 come along pretty soon. Dying to get my hands on that 85!
Like your train of thought. I've heard about these but never seen one in action. Can a graduated filter be software as well I wonder??
Would be great if these were available and would save a lot of messing around and carrying loads of breakable stuff!
It's a lot of stuff. But to be fair - this announcement breaks it up into piece meal. One lens which comes with a hood vs. One lens and One hood. Ooh! Two things! A battery? A new battery grip is to be expected with something like the R5. New hoods were needed for all the lenses.
As for the announcement - wonder how long we'll be waiting on the 50 and 85 non-L's then? I was testing the focal distances for our usual birthday pictures in the living room just last night trying to see which one would be best. Have to shoot 85 in portrait for solo and keep the 35 for family shots. 50's not wide enough for the whole sofa and not close enough for individuals.
Has there been any rumour yet about whether the extenders will work with the new f/11 lenses.
I mean as in physically fit, not whether there's any point in it.

Completely expected for non-L lenses: no hood, no pouch, no case included.
I'm awaiting anxiously the Extender lens cap RF.
I know its extra profit for companies but a lens case literally costs 5-6 dollars to manufacture.
They could easily include it for a 1000 dollars lens just like Sigma does with much cheaper lenses.
I hope they announce the 85/2 soon. I’m a wedding photographer who loves the 35/85 pairing, with a 135 in my bag as an option, and so I’m beginning to think that my idea kit that I’m going to try to build to is:
35/1.8 RF (already own) - readily available for quick candids during Prep, close ups on very tight dance floors
15-35 RF - Portraits, ceremony, dance floor
50/1.2RF - Prep, Portrai
Rumored 85/2 - Macro, dance floor close ups to keep camera weight down on shoulder harness
Rumored 70-135/2 - Portraits, Ceremony

I completely agree, which is why I use 3rd party hoods, I don't want to spend €70 on a hood for a €400 lens. Even €20 for the 3rd party ones feels a big high to me, but it's still a whoooooooole lot cheaper than Canon.
Is there a new Canon Speedlite 600EX-RX coming too?

Not necessarily, the 1DX MkIII has WiFi built in 2.4GHz but also has a dongle WFT to enable 5GHz.
This announcement is only for RF based products. Seeing as Canon is announcing all of this at once, there's a good chance they'll have an announcement later this year for the EF-M based products as well (rumored M5 Mark II, M50 Mark II, rumored lenses, etc).
