I think it's safe to say that we will be seeing the Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM announced some time in November of this year.
The following Canon EOS R6 Mark II kits have been added to dealer product lists.
・EOS R6 Mark II Body
・EOS R6 Mark II RF24-105mm IS USM Lens Kit
・EOS R6 Mark II RF24-105mm IS STM Lens Kit
The Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM has been on our roadmap for a long time and we were told back in June to expect it to be announced in November, 2022.
We haven't confirmed 100% that the RF 135mm f/1.8L will have in-lens image stabilization, but all the signs are pointing that way.

Anyways, I though that this new R6 mkII would come after the R1 is announced (this one will bring quad pixel, probably). The actual R6 is already a great tool for photographers.
I’ll wait and see what the R6mkii and the R8 (if it comes) bring to the table. Better AF, faster FPS and maybe IBIS are my main focus coming from the R, since I shoot more and more sports than I used to.
If the mkII has the stacked sensor from the R3 I might preorder asap. If not, I might be tempted getting the R6 for a lower price point.
Even without a stacked sensor that would be pretty desirable.

I’m probably at CR:-99 on this one
Shut up and take my money Canon! :ROFLMAO:
I'll order one on day one
I used to have the EF 135 2 and used it a lot for kids photography. I found the fl to be great to take photos of my daughter playing around.
I have sold the EF 135 time ago in anticipation of a new RF version.
The main issue with a 300 2.8 would be how to justify it to the swmbo :ROFLMAO: Unfortunately it would be way too big to pass it as "c'mon honey it's one of my lenses, had it forever!"
The Canon RF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM appears to be getting closer [CR3]
