The RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM continues. Every so often we get a lens that simply won’t come to fruition. I’m talking to you EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II.
We recently reported that there will be two more lenses coming October 30 along with RF 24mm f/1.4L VCM, RF 50mm f/1.4L VCM & RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z or soon after.
We have been told there will be lens announcements next month and we think one of them will be an RF-S VR lens. The other, will be something white. Unfortunately we are getting many conflicting reports on what the white lens will actually be. I have heard some crazy claims, and we kind of hope that they’re accurate.
The EOS R1 begins shipping on November 14, and we do think a lens that would match nicely with the camera will be coming to keep the hype train going.
Simon of Ordinary Filmmaker is reporting that the RF 200-500mm f/4L IS USM has been delayed until 2025. He also mentioned that the EOS R6 Mark III was delayed until 2025 as well, but we reported that a long while ago.
There has been a recent specifications report about the EOS R6 Mark III, though they weren’t the first as claimed. However, they have some similarities with ours, and that is a good thing.
Let’s be honest, our record of launch dates over the last year at least has been spotty at best, though the products coming have been pretty accurate, even if some of them were obvious. We also had a nice surprise.
Summary of Ordinary Filmmaker Report (by asobinet)
- The RF 200-500mm will likely not be priced anywhere near the same as the 100-500mm. (The EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM 1.4x launched at $10,999)
- The RF200-500mm will be āF4 Lā.
- It’s clearly there, but it won’t be announced on October 30th. A source who provided other information said we can’t expect it to be announced on October 30th. We can’t expect it to be announced in November, either.
- Based on the source’s track record, the reliability is 50/50.
- In addition to the RF 200-500mm, the R6 Mark III has also been delayed.
