Earlier this year, Canon announced 6 new RF mount lenses to a lot of fanfare, unfortunately, we've only seen the RF 85mm f/1.2L USM of the six come to market. The RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM is scheduled to be released in September of 2019.

We have been told that 3 of the remaining 4 lenses will definitely come in 2019. The RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM are both scheduled to arrive in October. I wouldn't be surprised to see the official announcement in late August or early September.

The RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM won't be coming until December of this year according to the latest information we've been sent.

This leaves only the RF 85mm f/1.2L DS USM as the unknown in the group. We haven't heard anything about when we may see the Defocus Smoothing RF 85mm lens hit the market.
