Stock levels for the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM seem to be dwindling

[Canon Rumors]

There are reports from a couple of countries on the planet that the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is either hard to get or retailers are unable to order it. First, asobinet reports that there is no stock from big retailer Camera Kitamura. There is currently a “3 month” wait to get your hands on one

What's the stock situation from countries on different planets? Perhaps they're all on Uranus

Surely, this can be nothing other than an unmistakable sign of the very imminent release of the RF50mm 1.4

Yes! Every cloud has a silver lining, even imaginary clouds!

For the love of thine camera gods, please yes

I actually decided to get a new EF 50mm f/1.8 STM before they discontinue them (I already have the 50mm II). I'm sure the RF version would be restocked soon in those countries, I can't imagine them making a new version so soon.

I think an RF 50mm f/1.4 is a different market from the f/1.8 so I think it would be suitable to have both available. Or maybe Canon will allow a third party to make an RF 50mm f/1.4.

I have one coming today, was going to hold out for the L series variant, but I got a decent discount and also might be better for tourist type carrying on my R5. I just hope it's as good as my 35mm F1.8
