We now have a street price on the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM — it’s $1579 for a brand new lens from an authorized Canon dealer. The lens ships free, has a 1-year Canon USA warranty, and the dealer does not collect sales tax.
Adorama is now also showing stock of the Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM at a price of $1599.00.
We’re now seeing the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM in-stock at multiple authorized Canon dealers. $1599.00 at B&H, Amazon, and the Canon Direct Store are all showing stock at a price of $1599. This is the first time we’ve seen such broad stock available of this impressively compact telephoto zoom lens.
At time of post, there are 8 in-stock via Amazon, and 17 in-stock via the Canon Direct Store.
The Canon Direct Store is showing three copies in-stock of the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM, at the release price of $1599.00.
This lens has yet to be released at other authorized dealers.
B&H and Amazon are now showing availability dates on the newly announced lenses. The RF 50mm f/1.8 STM will be released on December 3rd or 4th with the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM showing a date of December 10th or 11th.
One neat feature of the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is the switch that lets you toggle the function of the ring between manual focus and control ring — the nifty-fifty just got a bit niftier!
Given the recent supply issues on new product launches, we recommend a pre-order if you want to obtain one of these two lenses before the holiday season.
Please add these items to your watchlist if you’d like to be notified about future deals and availability.
Canon announced two new RF lenses and the PIXMA PRO-200 printer. All are now available for pre-order — if you are interested, pre-ordering is highly recommended, given all the recent supply issues on new product launches. We expect the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM to be especially popular given the price point.
