A Canon RF 200-500mm f/5.6L IS USM makes an apperance

I remember all the hate the 100-500 got when it released.
People were furious about the f/7.1 aperture and declared the lens to be unusable in anything else than broad daylight.
Of course the same was said about the f/11 lenses, but those were below the financial threshold of those snobs.

So if canon releases a new lens with a max aperture of f/5.6 I am very much interested in seeing if the same people now find some other reason to say it's unusable.
They'll probably say something like "why would you buy this lens, if there's already a 100-500?" Or "it's far too heavy to handhold so it's unusable"

I used my 100-500mm at night shooting the Brooklyn Bridge Manhattan tower at 8:14 pm using a tripod ISO 320, 500mm, f7.1, 1/10 s and shot was perfect. I was standing on Pier 6 of Brooklyn Bridge Park. I hope I'm allowed to post this.861A0615Aug 18 2024 2000 px 200 x 0.8 x 1.jpg

Sigma has dropped "DN" from their lens names. It was previously used to differentiate DSLR lenses from mirrorless lenses but since they only produce mirrorless lenses now, "DN" has become superfluous. So the new new lenses are the Sigma 17-40/1.8 DC Art and Sigma 12/1.4 DC Contemporary.

Canon USA Price Increases Have Taken Effect

S
Interesting times we’re in, for everyday professionals and non professionals, do we hold off for three years to see if the tariffs are rescinded or is that genie out of the bottle for good? We just don’t see any ROI on purchases now. Passing this on to our future clients is gonna be tough. Personally we have an R1/R5II, 24-105 and 70-200 2.8 Z’s and a 100-300, would love the new BIG white F2.8 and F4’s, just don’t see the ROI.

Canon USA Price Increases Have Taken Effect

S
It is very interesting. I've been watching the prices of refurbished bodies (specifically the R8) and yesterday the price had shot up to $1619 (it had previously been $1349 normally). For some reason the price just dropped today to $1179 for the R8 + 24-50 kit. I ended up pulling the trigger and buying it at this lower price.

FYI a lot of the other bodies seem to be on sale at the moment on their refurbished cameras page (the R3 dropped back down to $3299 for example). So if anyone has been thinking about getting a refurbished camera I would look now.

Is this possible?

I have attached the same pictures twice. So the first three pictures are when IBIS was OFF and the second three are when IBIS was ON. The OFF versions are less blurry.
