Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z to be announced this week

[Canon Rumors Guy]

There are three RF/RF-S lenses coming from Canon on Thursday, November 2, 2023. Two of them you already knew about, the RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM and the RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM. The third lens coming is a lens people have requested since this web site began 15+ years ago, and that’s an RF

Obviously it means that it is also compatible with the Nikon Z mount. Canon becomes a third party lens manufacturer -- that's what will break the internet

LOL. I saw the post and immediately thought, "OK, that might actually break the internet". It's freaking huge though!!! Still can't wait to see more details.

I wonder what the weight is. Could see it as a combo lens with the RF 100-300 mm f2.8

You get a premium holy trinity covering 15 all the way to 300.

The "Z" may be a typo, I have no idea what it means.

Love it. I\'ve always had the 24-105L strapped to my camera since the 5D MkII, as I like the versatility more than the 24-70 most of the time. Having a 2.8 instead will be amazing.

Not my money... so sad

 

[john1970]

Just placed an order with my local dealer. No idea on cost but expect it to be similar to RF 70-209 mm f2.8

This plus my 100-300 f2.8 will be the PERFECT basketball setup and amazingly simple to travel with.
I'll have the first one in Indiana.

Wow, didn’t expect that announcement but it does make sense to offer a F2.8 trinity ranging from 15-300mm, especially for sports.

I’d guess the pricepoint will be at around 3 k give or take, hopefully not 4K.

I can’t see me buying this lens in the foreseeable future but who what kind of (indoor) sports my future kids might play. Maybe they’ll give me a reason that I absolutely need this lens

I have $3499 in my head and hoping for $2999. Canon tripod collars are sadly worth about $500 if included in the box.

Oh my oh my. Never in my right might did I see this one coming...not sure if it's worth dumping the 24-70 for this, but I'm sick and TIRED of having to send my 24-70 into Canon for dust removal...this would likely be internal zooming and cover all the bases for photo/video I need.

 

[GMCPhotographics]

Wow...what a lens! Big, massive and not a lot smaller than the EF 70-200mm f2.8 LIS III!
I heared of an EF version of this lens that was prototyped way back in 2010ish...it was generally panned and rejected by the various pros who got to test it because it was just too big and heavy. I'm guessing Canon have managed to slim it's weight down and that the pro photographers have gotten a tad stronger! I literally can't wait to try one!

So no 35mm this year then?

No. I don't even want to talk about it anymore.
