It looks like Sony is going to announce a lens a lot of people in these parts have wanted to see Canon announce. They're going to be announcing an FE 50-150mm f/2 GM lens likely on April 23, 2025.
This is the second f/2 zoom from Sony in the last couple of months following the impressive FE 28-70mm f/2 GM that has started shipping.
Rumored Specifications
The new Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 GM is rumored to launch at €4400, which would like put the USD price tag around $3500 before sales taxes.
- Weight: 1340g/2.95lbs
- Length: 200mm/7.9″
- White Paint Finish
- Announcement: On or around April 23, 2025
- Shipping in June
- Price: €4400
Canon RF 70-150mm f/2L IS USM
Canon has been working on a similar type of optical formula as the new Sony. We have seen a few optical patents for more f/2 zooms and one of those most likely designs is an RF 70-150mm f/2L IS USM. Having IS built into such a lens would differentiate it from the Sony.
An f/2 zoom range from 24mm all the way up to 150mm would pretty nice, albeit an expensive duo for your kit.
Summary
It wouldn't surprise us to see Canon follow the same path with new f/2 zoom lenses by announcing an RF 28-70mm f/2L USM replacement along with a longer f/2 zoom such as an RF 70-150mm f/2L.
These lenses likely wouldn't come until 2026 as Canon works to fill out their new APS-C line of cameras and lenses along with the arrival of the EOS R6 Mark III.

Sony makes 50-150GM that sits awkwardly in between 28-70GM and Tamron 35-150, charges 3.5 grand USD > Internet : INNOVATION~
Your fanboy eyes are blurring your vision. Reread the article to see where you fcked up.
Starting a meaningful conversation with you would be a waste of time judging by the tone of your original post. You wanted to jab at Sony so you saw what you wanted to see.
I would order a lens like that at $3500 and it looks like neuro as well so you are clueless on lens R&D and pricing. Canon won't be asking for your insight anytime soon 🤣
So what are you doing here? You could just say you want it and ignore my comment.
I will jab Sony all day because Sony punishes a1 users, which I was. For an expensive flagship, I get treated like peasants, and you expect me to keep kissing $ony's a$$? You can do it. 😉
I did like the 135/2L a lot, but found myself using the 70-200/2.8 II much more. I’ve been occasionally tempted by the RF 135/1.8 but much less frequently since getting the 85/1.2L DS.
Saw your bullcrap comment and called you out on it since no one else did yet.
Canon doesn't give a damn about you either, just your money. They do not know you by name nor give you exclusive flagship owner treatment. How do I know? You're not the only one that owned flagships.
It is not just a Sony fanboy thing either.
Canon users do it here all of the time.
If I was just starting out. The two f2 Zooms would be enough to get Me in to the Sony ecosystem.

Unreasonable request: Make it a 70-170mm. The extra 20mm probably blows up the weight and cost, but I can dream.
