What is the button on the 135L?

 

[prodorshak]

Has the stacked sensor been confirmed?

Holy moly, that lock switch alone may be worth the upgrade I can't put into words how much I despise that lock button on the current R6. Sorry I'm an old guy. I love my old timey switches and various levers that make life easier....Stupid buttons.

If I squint real hard I swear the sensor looks stacked.

Liking the new on/off/lock switch and a photo/video switch in place of the old on/off! Waiting to hear more about video record time limit and stacked sensor from R3 before deciding whether to jump.

What is the button on the 135L?

Most likely by default a focus hold button.
I would imagine it would be customizable to whatever you want.

By the looks of it there are 2. One for vertical grip and one for horizontal.

Still no images of speedlight and R6 II image leak is anti-climatic(though changes made to power switch are welcome).

So , what is so great about staked sensor?

I was going to say the opposite, it looks pretty thin to me.

 

[sfericean]

In all seriousness, the lock switch and the photo video mode switch are in fact huge upgrades to the functionality of the R6. The aforementioned lock switch as opposed to a button is nice change as I like to just look down at my camera and see that the lock switch is on. (Like on my 1DX Mark III's). And the photo video switch should (theoretically) allow custom modes now in both photo and video. Nice! I love functionality changes like that.

Makes sense, though I would suspect they are not independent buttons but rather do the same thing. Like the four unlabeled buttons on supertele lenses (default is AF stop).

Looks like no new hot shot

The sensor read-out is at stake and the stacked sensors come to the rescue.

Maybe my brain is ruined because of inflation and what not but does $2099 for a 1.8 L lens from Canon seem ... reasonable? I was expecting to be very disappointed with the 3000+ price tag.

 

[Bob Howland]

That would have been a really nice control setup for the R7.

What is the button on the 135L?

The same as the botton on the big whites and some G-Master lenses.
Great to put a function of your preference to this botton (visit the menue in your camera setting)

The function is heavily depending on your genre/ shooting style.

In my experience great added value.

Size wise anywhere in between the 50 1.2 and the 24-70 2.8, 82mm filters, I would say. Not the monster like those RF85 1.2s
IS makes it a reasonable companion to my EF 85 1.4.

Let's wait about IQ and close up performance (Milvus & Sony offer 0.25x)
Thanks to Sony limiting Canon's phantasies in prizing .......

It might be new hotshoe, more photos are in google drive folder and there is hotshoe cover showing full package contents.

I was expecting it to be slightly more expensive than the RF85 f/1.2L, due to the IS. I'll wait to the actual price in Euros before agreeing with it being '... reasonable'

Pretty sure I can see the new hot shoe in the photos... You might want to look again.
