Pricing for the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM and RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM has leaked

Oh man, a 70-200 f/4 lens that small and at that price combined with what Canon's put into the R5 and R6 has me seriously thinking about jumping back to Canon.
Oh man, the price is amazing!. I will go for the RF 50 f1.8 while wait for the review of the 70-200 F4 to see should I get it or not.
Well, well Canon. Looks like Canon is addressing the complaints about no cheap lenses for the R mount to some degree. Local EF 50/1.8 is AUD189 so about USD120 + US tax.
RF50mm/1.8 will definitely be cheaper than EF50mm/1.8+adapter and smaller.
RF70-200mm/4 @USD1299 (plus local tax) will be about the same as the EF version ~AUD2050. This sounds a little optimistic but happy to be wrong. Wouldn't be surprised if the local price is higher... at least to cover the local 5 year warranty

That's a great price on that 50! I'll have to grab one of those. Good price on that 70-200 too, but I think I'm going to hold off and wait for a 15-35 F4L.
Fortunately the rumor is the 15-35 F/4L is actually a 14-35mm F/4L! Going to be tough for me to decide if I want to replace my 16-35 F4L with that or the 15-35mm F/2.8L.
The EF 16-35mm f/4L IS is so good they had to do something to entice owners to switch!
The 50 f/1.8 is cheaper than I thought. On the 70-200 f/4 Nokishitha' tweet says $1599. If that is true yet another over pricing from Canon.
CR needs to learn how to slow down and read more carefully.
Nokishita says $1599 for the 70-200/4

Thanks for showing the source with the correct prices!
Simply copying the numbers could have prevented some disappointment. Well, at least the RF 50 1.8 STM looks really compelling at this price.
Goodness, give the guy a break. Ya'll realize 2 is right below 5 on a 10 key? Probably just a typo.
My current 77mm filters can be used on my RF70-200mm, EF24-105 and EF16-35mm/4. CPL/6 stop ND and 10 stop ND are screw in and my grads are 100mm wide on 77mm thread.
Moving from my EF16-35mm/4 to RF would mean new filters for >77mm thread. That will be expensive for me. 82mm for the RF15-35mm/2.8 and would be larger if it is 14-35mm.
Unlikely that a 14-35mm lense would accept a front filter thread ie bulbous and need a special setup like the Nikon 14-24mm or EF11-24mm.
I have my Samyang 14mm/2.8 if I need wider but it is mostly for astrolandscapes ie not using filters
I'm sure that a new RF wide angle zoom will be great but it would add another AUD1k minimum for the new filters.... Much more if 150mm grads would be needed.
