Well, well, well… could this be Canon’s lens roadmap for 2021? [CR2]

I have zero interest in the 100-500mm L. I could see myself picking up a lighter 100-400mm non-L that will likely cost one third.

Hopefully, a better quality 50 f/1.8 doesn't close the door on my hopes of 50mm f/1.4L at some point.

What would be valid reasons to upgrade for those who already have something similar or even better like EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, instead of using an adaptor ?
There's already an RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM available, take a look at that lens. It's a lot smaller than the EF that you have. Image quality is improved and it's lighter. It also has a 5 stop IS on it's side. It's also faster focusing.

I don't see the point of the "Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-7.1 IS USM". Given we already got a "Canon RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1 L IS USM" which is faster at the wide end and faster at the tele end for the same focal length. The only thing I can think of is that it's smaller or lighter or significantly cheaper. If it was f/5.6 at 400mm then I could see some advantage to giving up the 100mm of reach.

The 11-24 replacement seems to have gained 1mm at wide end again, just like the 15-35mm and it's EF equivalent. I see that the f/4 version of the 15-35 gains yet another 1mm at the wide end, 14-35mm.

I would have loved to see the long primes come with a built in switchable 1.4x TC built in (like the 200-400 f/4L) that was such a great idea.
Size. Cost.

I was hoping for a super fast astrophotography prime or zoom thats better than 2.8.

  • Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro could be interesting though
Some amazing Lenses on offer though. It'll be interesting to see what sigma brings to the table. Id rather have canons own Lenses but if sigma can do some fast wide primes or pancake lenses id snap their hands off

So if you get C70 the best native wide angle option is RF 10-24mm f/4L USM and at C70's Super35 crop it will have same FOV as RF 15-35 with a similar DOF if it being closed down to f/6 on an R5 ... =\

RF 35mm f/1.2L USM will be a great lens for full frame cameras!
