Next week, we're obviously going to see both the Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II announcements. Along with the two new camera bodies, we should also see 2 more RF lenses officially announced this week. The RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM, RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM coming first and the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM coming at a later date.
We have received pricing for the 3 mentioned lenses, but the pricing came to use in Thai Baht, so we've done a bit of converting to get what we think the USD pricing will be.
- Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM 82,600 THB –
$2499 USD$2299 - Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM 82,600 THB –
$2499 USD$2299 - Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM 93,500 THB – $2799 USD
The RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM are scheduled to begin shipping in October, while the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM will be coming in December. There is still no word on pricing or availability for the RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS.
Please keep in mind currency conversion with camera gear is not an exact science, but you won't have to wait long to see the official USD pricing.
Thanks Mark
Correction: The RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is likely not being formally announced this week. We have updated the story.
Although, the 24-70 2.8 price is only $200 more than the EF version 2 was at release, so this might just be the early adopter premium. (or the currency conversion isn't accurate)
Hoping for a development announcement for a 100-400 L soon with a price under 2.5K.
I wonder if they would still make money if they threw in a Canon RP with the first purchase of one of these lenses :LOL:
It’s totally in line for L glass. But I hear you. Canon needs to get more non-L primes out for the RF mount asap. And Im sure they’re on it. But yes, going heavy on the L glass to start does make it difficult if you dont want to use and adapter
The only one that kills me is the 24-70 IS. I love my EF 24-70 II but I do miss IS on it at times. The 15-35 will be a stellar lens but f/2.8 isn't worth the extra $$$ for me personally.
