Oooh... that RF 24-105mm on an EOS C70 with Power Zoom Adapter. Definitely something to contemplate.

As a wildlife shooter the 200-800 looks appealing, and seems like a reasonable price in the US, but in NZ it will likely be around $4k, which is a lot more than I want to invest right now. Looks like I shall be shooting with my trusty Sigma 150-600 and 60-600 lenses a while more!

24-105 pre-ordered instantly! This lens is a dream come true!

The RF 200-800mm sounds like a first of its kind lens. A super telephoto zoom lens that reaches 800mm. I think it is time to retire my Sigma 150-800, which was best for still subjects, not so great for really fast action photography.

BUT, the RF 24-105mm f/2.8L might have to come first. It’s time to jump into the R series at the deep end of the pool and leave the EF mount gear behind, most of which already has support ending dates marked on my calendar.

I have preordered the 200-800 from Adorama but they cant give me a shipping date. Would I get it any quicker preordering from Canon at this point? Any info on shipping estimates other than the Dec 14 I see?

shadowsports — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 18:53:26 GMT

Hi LaneW,

I think you're good with Adorama. Going with the biggies are your safest bets. B&H, Adorama, Canon direct... I expect you'll have it in your hands Dec 16-18th if it's ships on time.

Re: New Product Announcements!

Danfaz — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 19:02:25 GMT

What Rick said. You're already in the queue with Adorama. If you pre-order now with Canon, you will be farther behind.

Re: New Product Announcements!

LaneW — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 19:08:58 GMT

Thanks Rick,

I hope you are right. I'd be very pleased if it got here that soon.... was thinking it would be longer. (OK, I'm a little anxious)

I wonder if they will sell more than three of these power zoom adapters, I think that is about how many of the original ones were sold.

Now I could skip a lens. 24-105 f2.8 with 100-300 f2.8

I have ordered the rf 200 800 mmPurchase Date: 02/19/2024 from Canon USA, but they do not know when they will send it, they give a time window of 2 to 6 months. Really, a serious company has no idea what it sells, when it will be available? I wouldn't count as a new lens one that you can't have and you don't know when they will send it, if they have charged for it from the first day.
