In this Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS review Jared Polin discusses the benefits of one of the holy trinity lenses for the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless system.
He says the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS is a “must have” lens for the EOS R system.

Tom of BorrowLenses compares Canon lenses for different mount types in this Canon RF vs EF lens comparison.
Canon RF lenses are for the new Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless system, Canon EF lenses fit on Canon DSLRs (APS-C and FF). So, which are better? Are the RF lenses an improvement over EF lenses? For this purpose these lenses have been compared:
All tests done on a Canon EOS R (EF lenses mounted via adapter). And here is the video with the Canon RF vs EF lens comparison:
Canon puts a lot of emphasis on their new lens mount system, and for a good reason. Some of the so far released lenses are nothing less than spectacular. An interview with the engineers designing and developing RF mount lenses is here.
The Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L is one of the boutique lenses Canon made for the EOS R, the other is the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L. If you have any doubt left that the RF versions are an improvement, then have a look what DxOMark says.
It’s also pretty interesting to read what the experts at LensRentals have to say after a teardown of the RF 50mm (emphasis mine):
[…] the R lenses are not only entirely new optics, they are also largely new electrical and mechanical systems. There are a lot of different things in here that we haven’t seen in any Canon EF lenses. Some of them we should have expected, like the increased electronics going to the control ring. Others we don’t really understand yet, like the tension spring in the ring USM motor or the increased electrical shielding.[…] We also saw lots of new stuff we don’t completely understand yet and a level of complexity we weren’t expecting.[…] the RF lenses contain some new technology they [Canon, editor’s note] haven’t used before. There’s a lot of engineering that’s gone into these. Things are different inside here. As we’ll see in the next teardown we do, some of that is carrying over to at least some EF lenses. What does this mean? It means Canon has invested very heavily into developing the lenses of the R system. This level of engineering didn’t all happen in the last year, they’ve been working on this for quite a while.
Guess there is definitely a lot of new technology in Canon RF lenses compared to EF lenses.
This is the first time I guess, I read a reviewer calling a lens a “modern marvel”. Has to be a pretty cool piece of gear.
DPReview posted their Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review sample photo gallery. The Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens is for the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless system.
They say:
[the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS] capabilities combined with its small size make it nothing short of a modern marvel
Unfortunately the modern marvel comes with a hefty price, $2,699.

We already knew Sigma would make RF lenses. Now another mention surfaced over the web.
We were told Sigma would make lenses for the EOS R back in July 2019. Our source told us Sigma would announce these lenses after they released a bunch of lenses for Sony MILCs.
Latest rumor about Sigma’s RF mount plans has it the company will reveal these plans early 2020. This too fits with our previous rumor. Guess sometimes the Internet silently recycles rumors.
Besides all rumors, you shouldn’t have any doubt that Sigma will jump on the RF mount bandwagon. It’s just plain logic. And that’s great news for all EOS R shooters since Sigma’s recent lenses are nothing less than outstanding.

Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS review by Photography Blog.
The Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS is one of the “holy trinity” lenses for the EOS R system. A lens that’s not for everyone’s budget.
From the conclusion of the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS review:
This lens is lovely and sharp, while also being very good at keeping distortion to a minimum. W’ve been using it with a Canon EOS RP, which arguably is not the best camera to use it with. But even the 30 megapixel Canon EOS R probably wouldn’t even do it justice – perhaps Canon will be announcing something with an ultra-high resolution sensor targeted more squarely at professional users than the existing line-up some time soon.
[…] Image quality from this lens is fantastic and if you’re somebody who has a need for an ultra-wide-angle lens for the Canon full-frame mirrorless system, it’s hard to deny just how excellent it is. Read the review at Photography Blog
