Canon today announces the addition of four new lenses to its EOS R full frame mirrorless system, significantly extending the options available. The lenses introduced are the RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1L IS USM lens, already announced earlier this year, plus two super telephoto lenses – the RF 600mm f11 IS STM and RF 800mm f11 IS STM – and the RF 85mm f2 MACRO IS STM lens.

Bearing the L-series hallmark, it is weather-sealed and contains one Super-UD and six UD lens elements for superb image quality.

Alongside the RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM lens announcement, Canon has also revealed the development of the RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1 L IS USM, Extender RF 1.4x and Extender RF 2x for 2020. It's clear that Canon is committed to its new EOS R system and the RF mount, with nine RF lenses promised for 2020. What's also interesting is that the first lens is a distinct step from the fast, bright, 'look what we can do' lenses of 2019, focusing more on the more affordable, lightweight lens. There are no further details as yet for the RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1L IS USM lens, nor for the Extenders (Canon's name for teleconverters) – more details will be shared as soon as they are available.
