Here is the Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM

[EverydayPhotographer]

Just announced, with a price point at $1,699 usd. Jesus Christ. I was hoping for closer to $1,200. I am stunned that it’s only $400 less than the 15-35 f/2.8. Bummer.

Preordered!

I have the 15-35, and love it. This will be for space and weight constrained travel. Since I shoot mainly landscapes, the extra 1 mm will be nice too.

Thanks to those who put up the info that Preordering was open on B & H; I greatly appreciate it!

3) How wide is the 14mm? You may think that's a bit of an odd question, but according to the patent, the actual focal length was 14.8mm, so calling it 14mm is being a little generous. Would be curious to see the width compared to my 14-24mm, as well as some 14mm primes.

Good point.
My experience is that the zooms of various manufacturers have different ideas of focal length.
My Tamron 28-75 was shorter at 75 than my Canon 70-200 at 70. I was scolded by many online that that was the way things are.
IMO that is nonsense as the camera enthusiast and professional market obsess over published specs and treat them as gospel.
I am thinking that the Sigma may not be quite as wide as you think or maybe the Canon will not be. Its a toss-up. Frankly, the markings out to be accurate. If the Canon is really 14.8mm then that makes significant difference while at longer FLs a 1 or 2 mm difference is negligible.

Looks like a very nice lens, I was hoping it would be about 1200 though. Looks like I will stay with my RF15-35 f/2.8 and deal with the weight.

$600

It comes with a price tag about 1.819EUR incl. tax here in Germany - seems that I keep my EF16-35 4.0 for a looong time

Pre order on B&H, $1,700.

Well at least better then the Swedish price of $1,899 USD (excluding the 25% VAT).
EF 16-35 is a bargain with it's $1,030 USD here ($979 USD at launch).

€1849 here in .nl. With the new RF100 in pre-order, my 17-40L be safe from replacement for a few years more

Canon are certainly owning the low volume, high margin approach to pricing aren’t they?

I'm in the same boat. My 17-40 is still going strong and adding €1500 to it for a trade-in towards this 14-35 is just too steep for me.
Now lets hope that the second hand market will see some nice 16-35 F/4's appear.

"Preordered" (arranged to be on the waiting list) on last Friday.

A little more expensive than I hoped, but still OK.

I will just pick up an used 16-35 F4 for £600 + drop-in filter adapter. A bit extra weight but half the price.

Once again Canon is price gouging the UK by 10% relative to the EU (and to repeat earlier stuff, Nikon and Sony don't do this, it's a genuine rip off). RF stands for Rip-off For-us. Fortunately, we have honest grey market sellers.

It is not just the size and weight, 14 is a lot wider than 16.

 

[fentiger]

I do wonder what the price of the R3 is going to be, I predicted earlier that it would be £5500.
Im not so sure now, and in light of this lens price think the R3 could be closer to £6000.

 

[Fischer]

The suggested price is just 420 USD less than my current best price for the RF 15-35mm. I'd wait and hope the price comes down somewhat. YMMV.
