A new super expensive RF 200-500mm f/4L IS lens for the EOS R system? It looks like according to the latest rumor emerging from the interweb of rumor mills.

Says the source of the rumor:

Canon’s EF 500mm f/4L IS USM II is going to be a zoom for the RF mount first. We have confirmed that a Canon RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM will likely be coming in Q4, or perhaps in Q1 of 2024 ahead of the Canon EOS R1.

The Canon RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM will not come with a built-in teleconverter.

Another RF lens that will cost like a small car.

  • RF 100-300mm F2.8L IS USM – $9499
  • Lens Hood ET-124 – $650

See For How Long Canon Will Support Your Camera

Eos R5 8k Video

Canon Japan posted an overview of how long the company will support (repair) its cameras.

The full list can be seen here. Below, you see the dates for EF-mount and mirrorless cameras.

TBD stays for “To Be Defined”, meaning there is yet no established end date for support. No need to panic, though. Even if your camera is no longer supported by Canon, you might easily find some third party repair shop.

Canon Set To Release A RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS Lens?

Canon might release a Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS for the EOS R system, according to a new rumor.

A low rated rumor (by the source itself) suggests Canon might soon release an RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS lens. Says the source:

[…] we have an anonymous report that Canon plans to announce a Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS in the first half of 2023. On the surface, that is a lot of overlap of focal ranges. There is the RF 24-70 f/2.8L IS, RF 24-105 f/4-7.1 IS STM and the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS. Adding a 4th lens to this range just doesn’t feel likely. It does remind us of the EF 24-70 f/4L IS Macro, a lens a lot of people thought didn’t make sense with the overlap, but actually turned out to be a pretty popular lens.

Time will tell. In the meantime, stay tuned.
