Fast 300 coming

The Canon RF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM appears to be getting closer [CR3]

Hoping it's not super expensive. Maybe just expensive.

just how expensive? $ 6000

I don't see why it would be more expensive than 100-500mm L which is $3k.

Oh I think it will be. a 2.8 optic is a more expensive glass than a 4.5-7.1. I'm guessing closer to 5 or 6K

Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L is $12k... I guess you're right.

 

[Jake Shoots Birds]

Used EF 300mm f2.8 are going for mid-$4K, so yeah, $6-7K seems about where it's going to land.

The 300 2.8 is a Hugh lens, in the past they ran around 6,000.

I know there’s a market for the fast, expensive telephoto glass but I really hope Canon announces a few DO lenses to match Nikon’s PF offerings, and I hope they put out a 200-600 that is faster than the 100-500. If they could pull off a 200-600 f/5.6, I would be very quick to pre-order.

I was hopping for a 500 DO L type lens as soon as the R5 was announced.
