Report: New Canon Super Telephoto Lenses Coming in May

I figured I should address some of the new reports floating around the web about new Canon super telephoto lenses coming at the end of May ahead of June's World Cup. The consensus seems to be replacements for the RF 400 F2.8 L IS USM and RF 600 F4 L IS USM will be announced […]

A 600mm with a built in 1.4 and 2.0 would be a "hold my beer" moment and probably break the internet Is there any lens around with such a design feature? I couldn't find one with my quick google search.

I dream of owning a big white some day. Which one depends on which sport my kid(s?!) will be doing.

An RF 600mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4×?

Highly doubtful. One set of flip-out 1.4x elements, yes. Two sets of them, no.

Not two TC, but Nikkor Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S is something Canon should have made long ago.

Yes, and it only took Nikon 9 years to innovate that switchable 1.4x TC, after Canon launched the EF 200-400mm with that feature in 2013. Or if you prefer, you can start counting from 1984 when Canon released a handful of FDn 1200mm f/5.6L + 1.4x lenses for the LA Olympics.

A 600mm f4 with a built in 1.4 extender would leave only a long RF macrolens on my RF lens wishlist.

It would leave a TS-R 14mm lens on my wishlist. Plus whatever else Canon may come up with, I did not expect the 20/1.4 or 14/1.4 VCM lenses, but they're excellent.

FD 1200mm f/5.6L + 1.4x lenses for the LA Olympics.

omg, how heavy was this lens? According to google AI, it was 16,8 kg. Instead of a tripod one should have probably used a golf cart Useful for a safari, for sure. But for which sport would one use a lens like this?

Just to add, though Nikon didn't make a 1200/5.6 with a built-in 1.4x TC, they did come out with a basically equivalent version as a zoom lens, the 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8. They were only 6 years behind Canon for that one.
