A poor-quality image of the upcoming Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM has leaked ahead of the official announcement.
It sounds like we're going to get an official announcement next week, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Canon EOS R3 get an official announcement alongside it.

This time is different.
This looks about the same difference as between the 24-105 and 14-35 in the OP.
1. go wider just like with the UWA zooms. I imagine an RF 12mm
2. keep 14mm, but give it more light like F2 at least
3. Design a completely new and super light 14mm F2.8.
With the zooms getting wider and the RF 16mm F2.8. about to come, I think option No 1 makes a lot of sense. Give it F2 and it would be a killer astro lense
Anyway, it's a sure buy for me! :)
Honestly may just depend on the price of the R3. If the R3 is cheaper than expected, that's extra money towards a new lens.
