The 28-70 F2 is a show off lens of something not before seen. A show piece for the launch a new system. They talk the talk with the R mount hype and brought out something to walk the walk. See what we can do.

Canon has a couple of patents out there for 24-70 2.8 IS designs. Word has it that they mentioned upcoming 2.8 zooms at their launch. Canon is normally tight lipped. We shall see.

What I would like to see.

An RF 16-35 F/4. I am sure they will do an F4 ultra wide zoom, but I think Canon is going to be more interested in initially rolling out the more showy stuff at first. A 2.8 UWA seems likely sooner than later.

An 85 1.8 could complement the "value" RF 3.5 1.8 in the lineup.
