I ordered mid-day launch day and mine is being delivered today. Almost three months.
There was just a knock at the door so I’m sure that’s it. No kidding. It just arrived.
Congrats!!

As well as affordable, portable for the frail like me.I’d want to see both! 500mm f4 is inevitable. 500 5.6 DO would be affordable!
Not with that attitude, bro...RF “Big White’s” sound awesome but sadly out of my league.
However realistically I do fancy a clean used EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS II USM for my R6 as a road back into sports photography, apparently the Mk II works well with the adapter. Used clean lenses are about 1500 so this to me is realistic, and gives a good range and reach.
I can understand why RF big whites will be a must when the R1 arrives for pro sports shooters
Does anyone have an idea what the max. magnification of the RF 300mm f2.8 L might be? I've never had anything close to a "big white" before, but would consider this lens if it gave me beautiful close-up shots as well as far-away shots (I'm not a professional and don't cover sports events).
Eventually the pandemic is going to end, and a lot of things should return to a more "normal" (read "pre-pandemic") situation. That will include manufacturing.This is great news but I hope Canon has the manufacturing/assembly capacity needed to add a 3rd new R family camera. They are struggling right now to get R5/R6s delivered to their retail partners. I have been waiting 2 months for my R5 and I am sure there are others that have been waiting longer than that.
Thanks, Navastonia. But I already have a RF 100-500 on order (whenever it gets here) and I know that it will take very nice reasonably high-magnification shots with a smooth background due to the long tele compression of the background.FWIW, if you're looking for a macro lens, my advice is to buy a macro lens. The RF 85/2 has macro capability and costs a fraction of what an RF 300/2.8 might cost. If you do need both beautiful close and distant images, the RF 100-500 is available right now and reportedly has good close-focus capability (below)View attachment 193134

Mostly due to decreased personel on shifts all along the distribution chain. Covid -19 protocolsThis is great news but I hope Canon has the manufacturing/assembly capacity needed to add a 3rd new R family camera.

Where did you preorder order from? I had mine on preorder and got it in a week.This is great news but I hope Canon has the manufacturing/assembly capacity needed to add a 3rd new R family camera.

to be slightly pedantic....the 6D II is as cheap was chips (wonderful colloquial English saying),
