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

[Tronhard]

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!

Overnight we get three new lenses, 😀😀😀 new cinema and PTZ  firmware's, 👍 and power zoom accessories for the RF 24-105 f2.8 L Z.

Wonderful!

[Danfaz]

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

[Waddizzle]

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.

[LaneW]

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]

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.  

[Danfaz]

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

[LaneW]

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)
