We got a tip (thanks) about two Canon RF mount lenses that might get released in 2021.
Canon might announce an RF 100-400mm f/7.1-11 IS STM and a RF 18-24mm f/4 STM pancake zoom lens in 2021. The former was already rumored, the latter is new.
The next Canon announcement will be for the Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6. Stay tuned.
We were sure it would come, we were avidly waiting for it: a new Canon EOS R5 price rumor.
Two weeks before we expect the Canon EOS R5 announcement (that is, July 2, 2020) a new Canon EOS R5 rumor pops up, and suggests what might be the price of the R5 in Europe, i.e. €4,500. The source claims to have seen an official Canon price list for Europe.
Does this make the rumored price of less than US$4,000 less plausible? It seems so. Although some people is making rather elaborate but still reliable calculation involving VAT to permute the €4,500 to US$4,000, there is obviously a possibility that the EOS R5 might well be over US$4,000 in the USA.
However, we soon will know. In the meantime, here are the EOS R5 specifications we know about, and here is a list of all EOS R5 teasers and rumors
Stay tuned.

Any doubt left that the Canon EOS R5 announcement is imminent? Here is another proof it’s coming.
Adobe added support for the Canon EOS R5 files to Premier Pro.
Premiere Pro is just the first Adobe product to get official EOS 5 support, all the other will follow soon.
Canon already partially disclosed specifications and features (1 | 2) of the EOS R5, and there is not much left to discover but the price. After the last specification reveal there are even some videos to watch. All R5 coverage is listed here. All we know about the Canon EOS R5 specifications is listed below.
We expect Canon to announce the EOS R5 in June or July 2020. But there are signs that shipment might get delayed or will start with small figures because of the global pandemic.
Stay tuned.
Here is another Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 RF review, Samyang/Rokinon latest autofocus lens for the Canon EOS R system
Photography Blog posted their full Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 RF review, and rated it “highly recommended” with 4.5/5 stars. From the conclusion:
Sharpness is acceptable when shooting wide-open at f/1.4, very good at f/2 and outstanding from f/2.8 onwards, although the edges aren’t quite as sharp as the centre, with f/2.8-f/11 producing the sharpest results. There is some evidence of chromatic aberrations plus vignetting at wide-open apertures, although admittedly that’s something that other fast lenses also suffer from.
The build quality is surprisingly good given the price tag, with the metal lens mount and housing adding to the high-quality feel, Samyang have also included a very good lens hood, and weather-sealing is the icing on the proverbial cake. Auto-focusing was acceptably quick on the Canon EOS RP camera that we tested the lens with, and the AF mechanism is pretty quiet too, making it well-suited to both stills and video use.
In summary, if you want an affordable yet high-quality portrait prime for your Canon EOS R camera, there’s only one contender in town – the new Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 RF lens.

L-tier lenses for the Canon EOS R system are also rumored to be released in 2021.
On July 2, 2020, we expect Canon to eventually announce and release the highly anticipated Canon EOS R5. All we know about the Canon EOS R5 is neatly listed here. About the EOS R6 we know less (all rumors here and rumored specifications here).
