There has been a word lately about a bunch of new Canon RF lenses. Probably the most intriguing among them are the 600mm f/11 and 800mm f/11. Thanks to Nokishita, we now head a few leaked photos and specs ahead of the official announcement that should take place in a couple of days.
Nokishita shared blurry product photos of the lenses alone. But there are two more images that show the lenses mounted onto a camera and used in real life, so to speak.

Both lenses seem to be pretty compact and convenient for handholding. However, the pretty narrow maximum aperture of f/11 could be their major drawback. There’s still no word on the price and availability, but the official announcement should take place on 9 June so we’ll keep you posted.
