Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens (B&H/ Adorama) was officially announced a few days ago. Now, another super telephoto RF lens is coming! According to CR, it will be Canon RF 200-500mm F5.6L IS USM Lens.
Canon RF 200-500mm f/5.6L IS USM is poised to be a significant upgrade over the already impressive RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM, offering advancements in optical quality and overall functionality. This new lens is expected to incorporate an internal zoom design, which can enhance its compactness. Although the f/5.6 aperture raises some mixed feelings, there are compelling reasons behind this choice. Primarily, an f/5.6 lens tends to be more budget-friendly compared to an f/4 alternative. For example, the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM 1.4x had a steep launch price of approximately $11,000. Furthermore, the reduced weight of the RF 200-500mm would make it more user-friendly, especially for photographers who prioritize mobility and ease of handling. By combining a more accessible price point with improved practicality and usability, this lens is likely to attract a broad audience and drive strong sales in the competitive market of telephoto lenses. Overall, the RF 200-500mm f/5.6L IS USM could strike a balance between performance and affordability, appealing to both amateur enthusiasts and professionals alike.
