Rumors on Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Lens

Here are the latest rumors on Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Lens. According to an anonymous source, Canon is planning to announce the “RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens” lens in the first half of 2023.

While this rumor is only CR1, meaning it’s not very convincing, many photographers are still excited about the possibility of this RF lens becoming reality.

Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens Reviews : Best Rf Kit Zoom

There is a lot of overlap at this focal length with the RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS, RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM and RF 24-105mm F4L IS, so adding a fourth lens here is unlikely.

It doesn’t seem to be a highly credible rumor, so it’s best not to expect too much at this moment, but Canon RF 24-105mm with f/2.8 through is a lens with specs like no other. It will be interesting to see if it will be a fairly large, heavy and expensive lens.

Canon RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Coming Soon for CP+ 2023

Looks like Canon is set to announce the RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens very soon, probably later this month. According to latest reports Canon will unveil the RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM most likely in February 2023 for CP+ event. No specifications so far but we think the entry level RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM will be a diminutive and light-weighted lens.

On the other hand Canon is planning to announce a new APS-C EOS R camera soon. The product in question is the Canon EOS R8 and it is rumored to be announced at CP+ 2023 event in February.

Although there are Canon rumors about the Canon R8 that it may be an EOS R (save $200) replacement, the general consensus is that the R8 will be an APS-C RF mount model and sit between the EOS R7 and EOS R10.

There will be other new products to be announced ahead of CP+ 2023. Take it with a grain of salt and stay tuned for the updates.
