Canon has patented an RF 200mm f/2 lens, perhaps signaling the return of a longtime favorite fast prime.
In any case, Canon has patented a 200mm f/2 lens and it is reasonable to expect that, at some point, Canon will release an RF 200mm f/2 lens with optical image stabilization.“I don’t understand the point of a new RF version of this lens when it’s already well covered with the EF version. Sure, it’ll have the latest Image Stabilizer and control ring. But it’s still an f/2 like the current EF version,” writes GMCPhotographics on.
As fellow commenter padam suggests, a good reason for Canon to release an RF version of the popular 200mm f/2 lens is that it will actually be available. The EF version, released in 2008,. While Canon has confirmed that the lens will have service support until at least the end of 2027, it is inevitable that, at some point, there will no longer be parts to service existing EF 200mm f/2 lenses.
The Canon RF 400mm f/2.8L and RF 600mm f/4L lenses are ports of the most recent EF versions of the lenses. Besides, just because there are good EF lenses like the EF 200mm f/2, Canon is not precluded from releasing RF versions. In some cases, Canon has ported existing EF lenses to the RF mount,In an ideal world, an RF 200mm f/2L lens will represent more of an upgrade than those super-tele lenses, given that the EF 200mm f/2 is very long in the tooth, but only time will tell.
