Latest murmuring from the rumor mills suggests that Canon might release a RF 200-500mm L lens for the EOS R system in late 2020.
This lens, according to the source, should be an equivalent of the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM, though not having the same focal length.
The source also states that development of EF supertelephoto lenses was was ceased “quite some time ago”, and that Canon now is focusing on RF lens development.

Canon patent application US20190243111 discusses various optical formulas for the EOS R full frame mirrorless camera lenses.
Among them is a 50-82mm f/1.1 lens. Will this lens ever come to the Canon EOS R system? Hard to say. At least there is an existing patent. Then time will tell.
More Canon patent applications are listed here. Some particularly interesting patent applications we think might get into production are these:
Now we know it for sure, thanks to always reliable Nokishita.
Canon will announce the gear listed below at the end of August, most likely on August 28.
An alleged specification list for the Canon EOS 90D already leaked, though we recommend to take it with a grain of salt for the time being. Same for the Canon EOS M6 Mark II.
Stay tuned, more to come very soon.
