If you want a Z 8 and 600 PF, then buy them and use them together.
Your existing Canon lenses will still work fine on your Canon gear.

Upcoming 2024 Canon RF lens recap
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Your existing Canon lenses will still work fine on your Canon gear.
The 200-500/4 has been rumored for some time, and seems ideally suited to the Olympics. Canon indicated they’d be keeping to their past pace of 7-8 RF lenses per year, and since we’re at zero so far it seems at least probable we’ll see the 200-500/4 announced soon and mounted on R1’s in use at the Olympics (even if neither are yet in the hands of the general public).
Your comment about mid-tier PF lenses reminds me of your earlier statement about a ‘lack of viable long Canon lenses for dawn/dusk shooting’. I suppose to you ‘viable’ means cheaper than lenses like the 600/4 and 800/5.6…and a stop or more slower than those, but less than a stop faster than the 100-500L. If threading that needle is important to you, just buy one of the Nikon lenses and a Z8 to go with it.

There was also the EF mount 600/4 DO that was not just a rumor but was shown off by Canon as a prototype. Of course, that was 9 years ago…

I always thought that the EF 600 mm f4 DO BR lens was quite the technical achievement. Too bad it never became a marketed product.

Anyone have any better intel on the RF 200-800 (latest I have is backordered, not shipping until October)?

It's a nice article, but I couldn't find the how many grams or any exact measurements. Did I miss something?

No you did not, there is someone asking about the weight. Most search results come back to this post.
