Canon Closes the Telephoto Lens Gap with Several New RF Mount Lenses

The library of Canon RF mount Lenses is becoming more robust, especially in the telephoto section.

Along with the announcement of the highly anticipated Canon EOS R5 and the EOS R6, Canon also announced a slew of new lenses today as well. Joining the ranks of Canon RF mount lenses will be three new telephoto prime lenses and a telephoto zoom lens that will delight birders and wildlife photographers. With these new lenses, Canon has significantly closed the gap between themselves and Sony in this segment. After the break will take a quick look at the new Canon RF mount lenses and how the RF mount now stacks up against offerings from Sony.

While Canon’s first Mirrorless cameras (the EOS R and RP) were a little lackluster, nobody can deny that Canon RF mount lenses up until now have been nothing short of extraordinary. Fortunately, there is nothing to suggest the premium RF mount lens train will be slowing anytime soon. Today, Canon announced four new lenses (the 85mm f2, the 100-500mm f4.5-7.1m the 600mm f11, and the 800mm f11). There are also two new teleconverters (x1.4 and x2.0) too, which can be used with three out of four new RF mount lenses. These are exciting times indeed for Canon. Let’s break down the new RF mount lenses below.
