This is the Canon RF lens roadmap
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Most anticipated of this list for me would be the 14-35 f4 IS.
Biggest question in my mind is price and color of the 100-400 with the 7.1 at the long end, I think it's reasonable to debate whether or not that'll be a "L" lens. Either way though I'd hope to see a modest price tag.

It's a little disappointing to me that they aren't planning on releasing a 24 1.4 any time soon...this would be the perfect lens in RF mount!
Canon RF 1200mm f/8L IS USM would be ideal for socially distanced photoshoots 
I still wonder if the 600/4, 800/5.6 and 1200/8 are somehow the same lens but with built in TCs.
Same here. I’m hoping there are a couple lenses on the list that just haven’t leaked yet. I think canon will release something like a 20mm 1.8 or 24mm 1.4 soon.
Dissapointed that they don't plan an 85mm 1.4. 85mm f2 doesn't seem as sharp and 1.2 is too expensive, loud and large :/
Eagerly waiting for both Macro lenses along with 100-400mm(which hopefully will replace the EF 70-300mm lens).
The EF version is relatively new and probably not a priority while there are so many other lenses to release first.
Still holding out hope for a 24-70F4 L IS!

Can someone explain to the
- Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro
In that long list of Big White's, a 300mm f/2.8 is surprisingly missing. Not that there is any thing wrong with my EF 328 Mk II
I don't know where you have that information from, but the 85 F/2 is very sharp wide open (in fact, about as sharp as the 85 EF 1.4 at f/2; I did a test since I have both of these lenses).
There's always room for an RF 1.4 version of course but I can imagine that for now they spend their resources and address other focal lengths.
Me too. I prefer landscape and outdoors photography. An f2.8 is too expensive, and I don’t need the weight. Had I been in the mirrorless market right now, I would be getting a Z6 II as that with the Nikkor S f4 is just $100 more than just the R6 body. Of course many other considerations.
The 1200mm f8 is interesting, I wonder what, if anything, it will offer over the 600 f4 and tc? I’d expect it to be a very hard sell given its price which I would estimate to be close to breaking the $20,000 barrier.
I like the idea of the 24 1.8. I'll probably buy that and sell the 35, because in crop mode on the R5 that'll give me about 38mm.
The EF 24-70f4L IS is still pretty compact and affordable even with the adapter. So there is always that to fall back on if they wait a while to put out an RF version. Although the 24-104 F4 L RF lens is pretty small and well reviewed. So we have options, which is good.

I'll say it again, we need some wide astro love! R5 is sooo good for low light... Canon teased with 14-21 F1.4 and 14-28 F2...
I don't like the Sigma 14mm F1.8, for bad coma and too narrow use case... Canon to the rescue!!!

It can take 1.4x or 2.0x teleconverter.
The biggest issue I have had with extreme telephotos has been atmospheric interference. It isn’t that difficult to get crazy magnification, you can stack EF TC’s if not RF TC’s, but getting clear enough air between you and the subject can be impossibly difficult.It can take 1.4x or 2.0x teleconverter.
