We knew there was a bunch of new Canon RF lenses on Canon’s release agenda. Now we can be sure.
Nokishita spotted five (5) SKUs for upcoming RF mount lenses as they showed up at a Russian certificaiton authority.

While we can not really associate these SKUs with lenses, we know that at least one of the SKUs above refers to the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS. We also can rather safely assume that the SKUs starting with “411” refer to RF mount lenses. The SKUs starting with “398” might be the two RF lens extenders announced along with the Canon EOS R5.
Canon announced a new lens for the EOS R full frame mirrorless system, the RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM. The Canon EOS RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens has an estimated retail price of $399.99 and will also be sold as a body-and-lens kit with the EOS R and RP cameras.
