With the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6 already shipping in batches, and the Canon Cinema EOS C70 starting to ship in November, the rumor mill has slowed down for the moment. This tells me not to expect too many new and exciting products to hit in 2020.
I do want to talk about RF lenses though, and I wonder what your expectations are to fill out the RF lens lineup, there are obviously still a lot of holes in it. Keep in mind the RF mount has only existed for 755 days (at the time of this post) and the last 6 months we've been buried in a global pandemic that has altered product plans.
Rumours aside, these are the 3 lenses I want to see next from Canon.
- Canon RF 15-35mm f/4L IS USM
- Canon RF 24-35mm f/1.4L USM
- Canon RF 200mm f/2L IS USM
I doubt #2 is even a remote possibility, but one can dream.
So sound off on the forum on what your three dream lenses would be for the RF mount. Please try to keep them realistic, we're not getting a 10-1000mm f/2.8L IS USM 1.4x-2.0x, nor can we break the laws of physics at this time.

18 f2.8

135mm 1.8L (1.4 if I'm dreaming)
Outside of that, I'm eagerly awaiting a RF 300mm F/2.8L of some sort, as well as a RF 100mm F/2.8 1x macro. Those are really the only three lenses I feel like I'm missing from my gear at the moment.
I wanted the 2.8 but decided the vignetting was disqualifying for my use cases. It does look awesome otherwise.
In the meantime I can wait and use adapters.

3. Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 (pancake)
f/2.0 100mm Macro (1:1) with internal focusing (at least "front lens always behind filter in static tube"), IS and Nano USM (for both, photo and video).
Because this would be a "90% of all photos"-lens size wouldn't matter too much (for me) and with engineering quality plastics it should be possible within a 800 grams range today.
