Awaited Canon Super Telephoto Zoom Is Finally Arriving This September
Key Points:
- Canon is expected to announce a long-rumored RF 300-600mm f/5.6L IS USM super telephoto zoom lens in September, though the exact focal range, aperture, and price remain unconfirmed.
- The new lens is anticipated to be more affordable than existing super telephoto primes, potentially costing well below five figures, making it attractive for a wider market.
- Other lens updates expected by the end of Q4 include a possible RF 24-70mm f/2L featuring either a VCM or USM focus motor.
- No new information has been shared regarding updated RF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM or RF 600mm f/4L IS USM prime lenses with built-in teleconverters.
- The announcement of the RF 300-600mm zoom may not coincide with upcoming camera launches like the EOS R8 Mark II or new PowerShot models.
