Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS Lens Release Delayed To March 2021

Canon announced that the Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS lens will not be released as scheduled.

Because “production reasons” (supply chain issues?) the Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS lens will not hit the market in December 2020 but in March 2021.

Canon says (machine translated):
